If you like period novels, I suggest the 4 books by Sarah Waters.

Tipping the Velvet, Affinity, Fingersmith and The Night Watch.

I had to read Tipping the Velvet for a GLBT literature class and I hated it... then when I wasn't forced to read it for an assignment, I couldn't put it down. Then I immediately got the next two, Affinity and Fingersmith and read those relatively quickly. These three are set in Victorian England and makes for a delightfully romantic, dark, and depressing setting. The Night Watch is set in London in the 1940's during WWII.
If you don't feel like reading, Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith are available on DVD as BBC 3-episode drama specials. Affinity is set to be a move later this year or next.

Annie on My Mind by Nancy Garden is pretty much the quintessential coming out as a teen book. IMO it's her masterpiece. Her other books aren't quite as good, but still worth the read, I also recommend Good Moon Rising.
