    Good book about teens and substance abuse, sexual pressure/rape?

    A few of my favorite books are
    Cracked up to be and some girls are by Courtney summers
    Lets get lost By sarra manning
    Unraveling by Michelle Baldini
    Dreamland by Sara Dessen
    Love You, Hate You, Miss You by Elizabeth Scott
    And Fault line, I forget the author.

    based on these books can you suggest any others I may like?

    Haven't read any of the above, but based on your criteria, try The Bitch Posse by Martha O'Connor.

    Teens, underage sex, self-harm, substance abuse, rape/coerced sex, it's all there and a bloody good read into the bargain.

    You might like Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Weiss, I think is the author. Go Ask Alice is another good one. If you like Sarah Dessen you should try Just Listen.

    You could also try Lisa McMann's best-selling WAKE trilogy. I just finished the first one and, though it's written to a slightly younger audience than Posse, it's an excellent read. No sex or drugs (explicity), but both referenced.
