You might've already read these, but my favorite cheesy YA rom-com type books are Megan McCafferty's Jessica Darling series - starting with Sloppy Firsts (http://www.amazon.com/Sloppy-Firsts-Novel-Jessica-Darling/dp/0609807900/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1248388108&sr=8-1a). The first book came out when I was fourteen and the fifth book came out this spring, and I feel like Jessica Darling is my BFF. And her boyfriend Marcus Flutie is the number one hottest fictional character ever.
I keep raving about The Hour I First Believed (http://www.amazon.com/Hour-I-First-Believed-Novel/dp/0060393491/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1248388198&sr=8-1) by Wally Lamb. It's one of the best books I've read in a while.
The most riveting book I've read all year was Columbine (http://www.amazon.com/Columbine-Dave-Cullen/dp/0446546933/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1248388219&sr=8-1) by Dave Cullen, but I don't know that I can actually recommend it. It's traumatizing and haunting and awful. I threw up on two separate occasions while I was reading it. It led me to write tens of pages in my journal trying to articulate how it made me feel. But, you know, if you feel like having your heart ripped out of your chest... I couldn't put it down.
