Book recommendations for teenage relationships?

[LeftHandedMouse]

Morning,

Are there any books that can help teens understand what a healthy relationship feels like?

We've done all the talking, now I need something that will resonate.

Keep the back story for now.

Fiction or non fiction? Ie do you want a guide to good relationships, or a portrayal of a healthy one?

Either/or really...

I suppose fiction is more likely to get read, but I kind of expected any 'guide to' to be very example/scenario based anyway and not really lecturing.

Suggest away, something might hit the spot of our particular circumstances, which are very probably no different to most.

Forever by Judy Blume.

I swear it was on every girls reading list when I was ant school. Still relevant today.

Is Forever more a sex education book than a 'relationship' one?

It deals with a teenage girls first proper boyfriend and how she deals with him, her parents, peer pressure and sex.

This is good, not drivel like those Men are from Mars books, I love the author's blog. www.amazon.co.uk/Unavailable-Fallback-Girl-Natalie-Lue/dp/1450540392/ref=tmm_pap_title_0

It's more about unhealthy relationships and how to avoid them but also has lots of description of how healthy relationships work too.

The Fault in Our Stars isn't a relationship education book but the relationship portrayed is a healthy one. And Paper Towns by the same author, although neither is happy ever after.

This just caught my eye too. I loved her pregnancy guide, and I've just read through the relationship section of this one (which is a small part of the whole book) and it sounds spot on without being lecturey too.
