14yr old DD never been a reader

14yr old DD has never been a voracious reader, but over the past few years has occasionally enjoyed books.

The three books she's read are:

Everything, Everything
One
Faceless.

She seems to like the 'I've had this terrible thing happen to me and I survived' type story. Doesn't like anything too slow paced.

Any suggestions??! Would love to tempt her away from the screens/mirror

Try:

Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo
The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
The Bunker Diary by Kevin Brooks (pretty harrowing though!)
Salt to the Sea and/or Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

I've read and enjoyed them all and my students did too (secondary English teacher).
