You

by Charles Benoit

15 year old Kyle is "you." Literally. He's called "you" through the whole book. It's weird, but it works. You, the reader, see through Kyle's eyes. You're a "hoodie." An outcast at your high school. When you find a wallet in the hallway and pick it up, just to look at it, you get jumped by a football player with a heightened sense of entitlement. Three days of suspension, then more anger and outcast behavior from you. You meet the new kid in the library, who is strangely fascinating. Maybe he'll be your friend. Maybe he won't. Either way, this isn't going to be good.

You is a super fast read. The suspense is killer. Loved it.
