Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. And it is really awful. The writing is melodramatic enough to compete with midday soap operas.

We, The Drowned ~ Carsten Jensen
the luminous grass of the prairie hides
feet lovely and still as sleeping doves,
porcelain bones strong enough to carry a life,
but weighty and unmovable
As black Dakota hills. ~ Riesa
Mom & I & Mom. Maya Angelou
Just started The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver. I have a friend who loves Kingsolver, thought I would see what all the fuss is about.
Currently reading A Clerygman's Daughter by George Orwell. I have read all his other novels; this was the last one left to read. The first sentence is, "As the alarm clock on the chest of drawers exploded like a horrid little bomb of bell metal, Dorothy, wrenched from the depths of some complex, troubling dream, awoke with a start and lay on her back looking into the darkness in extreme exhaustion." I am currently on p214, start of section iii of chapter 4. This is a really good book. I am really enjoying it.
According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.
