Ah, I read the Maze Runner books this summer. I enjoyed them well enough, but yeah, the second one is pretty derivative and the whole structure of the series is a total Hunger Games ripoff (first book intriguing and exciting, second book rehash with higher stakes, third book political resistance!) And I was pretty disappointed with the reveal at the end of book one, frankly. Kind of a waste of a super intriguing premise. :/
As someone involved in the creative side of fandom, I recommend "Fangirl" by Rainbow Rowell. SO GOOD; she really *gets* fanfic. :D
I also just finished "A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon. I don't know if you're into slice-of-life realistic type fiction, but it's basically about this dysfunctional family who tries to pretend everything's fine because they're British and then everything goes to hell when Dad thinks he has cancer and has a breakdown. Depressing in bits but overall pretty enjoyable.
