"Are you there God, it's me, Margaret" by Judy Blume is a great coming of age novel for a young woman, as are "Foxfire" by Joyce Carole Oates, "Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger, "A Seperate Peace" by John Knowles, "Dangerous Angels" by Francesca Lia Block, and "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" by Betty Smith, to name a few.
