Still, We Were Liars deserves the designation, despite (and probably because) it's a young adult book, and it's because of the three things that make an ItBook an It Book: 1. I'm a big fan of my YA girl Rowell and of Moriarty, whose Big Little Lies is both insightful and hilarious. All The Light We Cannot See is mesmerizing and it has a good chance of taking home the National Book Award for fiction next month.
