Here is one called Lush By Natasha Friend
Samantha has a secret…
It’s hard enough being a thirteen year-old girl, but when your dad can’t stop drinking and you’re not allowed to tell, life gets even harder. Add to the mix a yoga-obsessed mother, a gym teacher who hates you, and boobs that won’t stop growing, and you really need someone to talk to. When Sam picks a random high-school girl in the library and starts sending her notes asking for advice, a mysterious friendship develops. But who is A.J.K., really? And will she be able to help Sam help her father, before it’s too late?
You Don’t Know Me by David Klass. Excellent book, it really has a different style of writing that’s very intriguing. I haven’t heard of LUSH, but this book is about a kid who has an alcoholic step-dad who sometimes gets fits of rage and abuses him. But that’s not all it’s about. The kid has problems with school and girls…but ultimately, all those problems stem from his problems with his step-dad.
