Gideon's Ghost, by Gregory Stout. It's a great story.
This Time Will Be Different isn’t a debut, the author previously published another YA book (It’s Not Like It’s a Secret) :)Spin the Dawn, Don’t Date Rosa Santos, and How It Feels to Float are on my list!
I can tell my genre. I don't like the first rows of contemporary covers at all. Then the fantasy covers show up and I start liking almost all of them. Kind of funny.

Field Guide is amazing. Funny, unexpected, great Canadian touches. Anyone who's ever been a fish out of water in a teenage social situation will relate.
