Unwind by Neal Shusterman, if you like animes like Steins;Gate or any science related fiction media, this is the book for you. I read it a few years back, before I became an anime fan, but it has been my favorite book since. I was in tears by the end of the book, and every page was suspenseful. Without ruining too much, here's what it's about:

Basically, the story is set after a Pro Life And Pro Choice war is fought (many years into the future, though the date is not given). To end the war, both sides comprised, and each got what they wanted.

Abortion is now illegal, but when children are between the ages of 13-18, their parents, if they are dissatisfied with their behavior, can choose to have them "Unwound." (Surprisingly many parents choose to do this). When a child is unwound, they are kept awake while surgeons remove all their bodily fluids and replace it with some sort of drug that keeps them alive. Then the surgeons remove their body parts in an orderly fashion (kid is still alive and watching), all the way up to their heads, then they piece up the brain and donate all the body parts (in some cases the teen's conscience lives on while they are completely dismembered). So this story follows 3 teens who are on their way to be unwound, for very different reasons. They cross paths in a massive accident and go AWOL together. The story follows their hardships, and there are so many twists your heart will probably give up by the end (though I don't want to reveal too much).

Well, it's a great read, and the sequel I've waited 5 years for is coming out in August!

Come to think of it, most of the required readings in high school had really valuable themes... I'd recommend any of those books to be honest.
