Jean Rhys maybe, Wide Sargasso Sea is really good.

When I was a 15 year old, I read things like L'etranger and the Myth of Sisyphus and Sartre for a more gender balanced angst.

>>8848601
Alejandra Pizarnik diaries.

>Something that's well-written and that a sad 15 year old girl would like.

I never see her discussed here but I have an acquaintance who is in awe with that book. Did you read it?

Also, how do you read her name: Rice or Rees?

It's not a YA novel, it's experimental fiction. Jesse Ball gets published by the Paris Review. He's legit

Where can I read it in English?

>>8848651
I think there's no English edition yet, sorry, but I found a tumblr where someone translated some excerpts: http://apizarnik.tumblr.com/, you can also read Sylvia's diaries. Oh, and Emily Dickinson' poetry.

Schoolgirl by Dazai

Anne Frank's diary, desu

And john green I guess, although he's also inclined to make jest of how ridiculously melodramatic teen girls can be

>>8848601
Victorian literature like What Katy Did

And obviously Jane Austen

Subvert all that by reading 21st century chick-lit

I read John Green when I was 12. I hate the ''quirky'' thing he's got going on and the writing that's supposed to be witty but ends up just sounding cringy.

I'm just going through my angsty phase again and want to read something depressing and self-loathing.

>No book stays with me anymore. Dostoyevsky bores me. Nietzsche leaves me numb. I feel a chaos. I don’t know where to start.

Forehead-chan, you heretic.

OP, maybe Han Kang's "Vegetarian" is pretty gud apparently. My cousin is 16 and loved it. She's a huge dweeb though.

Thanks. English orthography is the bhys nhys.

is this besst anime?

She's lovely, demure, well-mannered and won't hesitate to throw a grenade at your feet when your back is turned. That's Ryoko for you, the spoiled and mischievous younger sister of Shuutaro Mendo. Arguably the most dangerous woman in Urusei Yatsura, with a persona that often borders on pure evil.

Growing up, always getting her way, having ever luxury a girl could want Ryoko became easily bored. But she found that causing trouble and watching people squirm was the best form of entertainment.

She uses underhanded mischief and devilish practical jokes as a primary source of pleasure. Voodoo dolls, grenades, bombs, guns, booby traps, death masks and that's just a fraction of her tricks. Ryoko often stages large get-togethers inviting many of the UY cast with the underlying purpose of unleashing her some great misfortune upon the unsuspecting fools while she always leaves the party unscathed.

She finds the greatest pleasure in tormenting her brother which is a full time occupation of hers. She knows how overprotective her brother is of her and she likes to use it against him. She'll concoct intricate plots that serve to ultimately infuriate, humiliate or even kill him. She'll even flirt with Ataru just to see her brother fly off the handle.

The manipulative and sadistic Ryoko has a very theatrical way about her. Not only because of the constant theater cliches and props she uses but it's that she's an actress through and through. She keeps putting on this guise of a naive and innocent girl which is incredibly convincing. She certainly appears to be a sweet girl. But underneath this veil of innocence lurks a twisted mastermind. She'll try and harm you, but will act like nothing happened.

Ryoko's servants are legions of faceless veil-wearing kuroko (kabuki stagehands dressed in black from head to toe who by theater standards are officially not there). They execute her every scheme rather comically as if they were in an actual kabuki play. Yet another example of her tendency to make everything in her life into a stage production. The kuroko carry her around town in oxcart, a pallanquin or even her horse which is actually a fake wooden horse with two kuroko acting as the legs.

Her main love interest is Tobimaro Mizunokoji, although we're not sure if he feels the same. Most of the time he just tries to get the hell away from her. Tobimaro has gotten his share of pain from Ryoko but he's learned that more than anything, Ryoko is one girl you don't want to make jealous. She'll say that she hold's no grudges as she lands on your face, pushes you off of a cliff, throws a crate of explosives your way and then pretends to weep over your dead body.
