Deadly Little Secret by Laurie Faria Stolarz
*Thanks to Lisa @ Turning Pages!
Some secrets shouldn't be kept...
Until three months ago,
everything in sixteen-year-old Camelia’s life had been fairly ordinary:
decent grades, an okay relationship with her parents, and a pretty cool
part-time job at the art studio downtown. But when a mysterious boy
named Ben starts junior year at her high school, Camelia’s life becomes
anything but ordinary.
Rumored to be somehow responsible
for his ex-girlfriend’s accidental death, Ben is immediately ostracized
by everyone on campus. Except for Camelia. She’s reluctant to believe
he's trouble, even when her friends try to convince her otherwise.
Instead, she’s inexplicably drawn to Ben…and to his touch. But soon,
Camelia is receiving eerie phone calls and strange packages with
threatening notes. Ben insists she is in danger, and that he can
help—but can he be trusted? She knows he's hiding something... but he's
not the only one with a secret.
Sixteen-year-old Tegan is just like every other girl living in 2027--she's happiest when playing the guitar, she's falling in love for the first time, and she's joining her friends to protest the wrongs of the world: environmental collapse, social discrimination, and political injustice.
But on what should have been the best day of Tegan's life, she dies--and wakes up a hundred years in the future, locked in a government facility with no idea what happened.
Tegan is the first government guinea pig to be cryonically frozen and successfully revived, which makes her an instant celebrity--even though all she wants to do is try to rebuild some semblance of a normal life. But the future isn't all she hoped it would be, and when appalling secrets come to light, Tegan must make a choice: Does she keep her head down and survive, or fight for a better future?
Trinkets by Kirsten Smith
Sixteen-year-old Moe's Shoplifters Anonymous meetings are usually punctuated by the snores of an old man and the whining of the world's unhappiest housewife. Until the day that Tabitha Foster and Elodie Shaw walk in. Tabitha has just about everything she wants: money, friends, popularity, a hot boyfriend who worships her...and clearly a yen for stealing. So does Elodie, who, despite her goodie-two-shoes attitude pretty much has "klepto" written across her forehead in indelible marker. But both of them are nothing compared to Moe, a bad girl with an even worse reputation.
Tabitha, Elodie, and Moe: a beauty queen, a wallflower, and a burnout-a more unlikely trio high school has rarely seen. And yet, when Tabitha challenges them to a steal-off, so begins a strange alliance linked by the thrill of stealing and the reasons that spawn it.

I read 'Deadly Little Secret' a couple of years ago and I wasn't too thrilled about it :-)
