There are so many books that I read in high school that I just would not recommend. I would avoid them. Number one being 1984. I read that I think my senior year of high school and honestly like it was fascinating but there were also parts of it that made me really uncomfortable and I didn't really feel like it was appropriate for a high school setting so that's one to avoid. Another one is Fahrenheit 451. That one was also not my favorite. I just couldn't get through it. It was it was another dystopian novel that just didn't bring me joy so maybe avoid those two.

In my sophomore year of high school my English honors class we read like water for chocolate by It's Laura Esquivel It was just a really odd book and there was a ton of Sexual content in it and I remember just like reading that as I Was like 15 14 and just being like whoa, I've never read about so much of that content in a book before And I just remember like it was the first time that I had really been exposed to so much of that and it just kind of like, you know, I just like kind of consumes your thoughts and changes your perspective on life and I Wish I hadn't had that experience

Books to avoid or any that tell you it's okay to be in your feelings for days, take days off, take breaks and say it's okay to not be our best because you know there's people who care about us and we're not doing our best. Avoid these books because they develop a negative, selfish, loathing mindset. We don't want this. We don't want to stay the same. We want to grow and become better.

So, I really like the musical Wicked, however the book is not great. The first lots of chapters are just talking about Elphaba's mom's adultery and it's really not great. It's weird and hard to get into. I wouldn't recommend even starting it. Enjoy the musical instead.
