Looking for books to do school newspaper reviews on.

Looking for books to do school newspaper reviews on...?
Okay, my friend asked this same question, but only one person answered and the suggestion wasn't even what she was looking for. So I'm gonna try to help her out here. Looking for recent and fairly popular books. The reason is that she's in Journalism and gets to do the book reviews for the school newspaper. But they have to be pretty recent and pretty popular. No Twilight. We both liked it, but we both have a bit of a pardoxical view on the overall series. People would be confused. So: Recent/popular books. Preferably for 14-18 age group. No Twilight. Other than that, pretty much anything is acceptable. Thanks! Oh, yeah. She's looking for the books people actually read on their own time, not the ones we're required to read for school. 'Cause none of my classmates actually read those.... Oh, and, in case it wasn't assumed from the age group, we're both high school seniors. Thanks again for any suggestions!

Here's a suggestion. Your local library should have lists of approved and required reading for your school district by both age and grade level. Your friend would be doing other students a service by reading and reviewing books from those lists.

How about Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer? It's about a guy who explores his Jewish roots. It's funny, weird, and sad all at the same time.
