Maureen Johnson's books (and twitter) are hilarious, and I know what you mean about them dealing with tough subjects without being heavy. Stephanie Perkins' books are wonderful. Lauren Myracle's books are fantastic, too!

I have Gayle Forman and John Green on my shelf, but still haven't read them. And I've read part of Pushing the Limits and loved--it's a lot like Simone Elkeles' books, which I also love. Great list.
