Pretty good
Good concepts and well written but the themes are very typical young adult.

Great early character development (1 more)
Very minimal awkward teen love scenes
This is how young adult fiction should be done.
Roped in from the beginning. Easy reading without getting boring. Entertaining and engaging, with just the right amount of eye rolls from an adult reader for YA fiction.

YA or Adult?
I went I went into this book knowing nothing. (I do this for many books from authors I respect). I had read Eleanor and Park and thought I would be getting a simple young adult romance. Boy was I wrong, this book is great for people who are growing up a little. The young adult story is still there but it is complicated by the adult world of marriage and kids and family. Great transition book if you want to start reading more adult fiction.

You’d think the best Young Adult books of October would be scary reads, what with Halloween and all. And sure, there are frights. But the true monsters in this month’s most gripping reads are ordinary people.
 
Here are the Paste Magazine's top YA books this month:

Many of these novels feature characters at their worst and life situations at their most horrifying, so prepare to be unnerved and engaged by these tales.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review. Even though this is the ninth edition of Buzz Books: Young Adult, it is the first I had read. It includes excerpts from upcoming and recently published young adult books. After finishing some of the stories, I immediately ordered their corresponding books because I HAD to finish reading them and was annoyed I didn't have it available to finish it immediately. Others, well, I liked reading them but would not continue reading the rest of the book. This edition provided an eclectic line up of stories and a nice mixture YA sub-genres. Because of people's natural tendency to gravitate to what you are comfortable or familiar with I tend to read the same sub-genres of YA more than others. If I have a choice, I prefer to read more fantasy YA then novels that about real life. I enjoyed reading excepts from books that I would not have normally chosen.

I like the idea of possibly knowing about the next huge book or series before it's published. Also, knowing about them makes a great conversation starter with my children. I would definitely read other Buzz Book collections to help make informed suggestions of selecting books for myself and my children.
