Books for a 15 year old girl? Recommendations please!

Very bright, mature in outlook but has had a tough time.
Has anyone got any recommendations for something reasonably light hearted but appropriate for a 15 year old girl? Or if not light hearted nothing with violence etc. Could be deep / thought provoking as long as not unpleasant.
Thanks!

I was about that age when I discovered Terry pratchett. Either the Tiffany books if she’s wanting an easy read, or monstrous regiment, wyrd sisters or witches abroad if she wants a bit more grown up

Ursula le Guin, Wizard of Earthsea. Clementine Beauvais, Piglettes.

I really enjoy Maggie Stiefvater books they are aimed at 'teens' but I still enjoy them. The wolves of mercy falls series is a nice easy read, some of the others have got a bit more mystery but really good.

Jane Austen - any of her books would be great.

Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskil is good.

Vanity Fair is also a good read

I loved Dodie Smith 'I Capture The Castle' at that age. I also liked Eva Ibbotson's romances for adults - nothing too adult, really happy ever after stories but with nice characters. I also used to read a lot of Georgette Heyer, still my go to comfort read!
