The movies for the books below look amazing! I started reading Winter's Tale and so far it's magical and beautiful, and I have high hopes that the movie is going to make this story come alive. I haven't read A Long Way Down, but I did read Divergent, so I can recommend that if you're looking for an action-packed YA read.
Winter's Tale
Written by Mark Helprin, this magical story follows Peter Lake, a mechanic and thief in New York City, who after breaking into a mansion on the Upper West Side, falls in love with Beverly Penn, a young woman who is dying. Peter is driven to stop time and bring back the dead.
Dress like Mr. Peter Lake by wearing a faux leather sleeve jacket, gray embellished sweater, black knit pants, a purple watch, and lace-up boots. Or for a more romantic look based on Beverly Penn, wear a navy velvet blazer, black maxi dress, star bracelet, heart earrings, and navy flats. (Release Date: February 14)

A Long Way Down
Written by Nick Hornby, this story is about four individuals -- a mother, a musician, a teenage girl, and a former talk show host -- who meet on New Year's Eve in London on the rooftop of Topper's House, the last stop for those who want to end their lives. These four people makes connections and talk about second chances.
For a look that a teenager or musician might wear, go for a dotted baseball hat, striped sweater, black vest, distressed jeans, and blue Converse. Or for a mother or TV host look, wear a gray chiffon dress, blue belt, blue purse, and nude oxfords. (Release Date: March 7)

Divergent
Written by Veronica Roth, Divergent follows Beatrice Prior, who lives in a city divided into five factions dedicated to a particular virtue. Beatrice grew up in Abnegation (the selflessness), but on the day she can choose her own faction decides to become Dauntless (the brave). She renames herself Tris and sees that training is more intense than she ever imagined.
Dress like the Dauntless by wearing all black: a moto jacket, embellished top, jeans, silver cuff, and booties. Or you can dress like the Erudite (the intelligent) and wear a blue sweater, tortoise glasses, jeans, a watch, and bow flats. (Release Date: March 21)
