Can anyone recommend any books similiar to the subject matter in We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver?

I've read mountains of books of all genres yet if anyone asks me what my favourite book is, I stumble around my brain looking for an answer. The truth is I don't know what "your favourite book" actually means. Is it something that is written well, that changed your life, broadened your mind...

I only discovered this author fairly recently. His books are mainly for teenagers but I think that anyone who has been a teenager will appreciate his work. Postcards from Amsterdam and Dance On My Grave are my favourites. :) Anyone else a fan?
