John Green's Looking for Alaska
Green is a well-known and well-liked YA author, and I remember really liking his book An Abundance of Katherines, but had never read this earlier book by him. Anyway, it's about a teenage boy who goes off to boarding school for his junior year, and he meets some likable smart friends, and the first half of the book is boarding school stuff--pranks, eccentric teachers, booze, and his infatuation with a manic pixie dream girl. And the second half of the book involves the aftermath of a tragedy. I dunno. B+.
