Book recommendations for a 16 year old introverted girl

I’m looking to buy my daughter some books for Christmas. She is an introverted person who is very smart but has difficulty engaging people and developing any type of relationships. She’s never had any friends and prefers to be by herself (outside of her family). That being said, I feel like I can’t send her off to college in a few years without giving her some tools to help her learn how to build some type of relationship. I’m hoping for some book recommendations about having conversations, listening, engaging, developing confidence, etc.
I appreciate any recommendations you may have for me

As an introvert myself, I think Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking would be a brilliant selection for both you and your daughter. It could spark some really helpful conversations about how you both see the world.

My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry wouldn't be a bad option, I don't think. Same guy that wrote A Man Called Ove.

Not a self help book obviously but the story tends to focus on a blind girl and how she navigates the horrors of WW2. Excellent in every way.

Reading fiction has been consistently linked to the development of several key social and emotional skills that help people connect and relate to others. If she has a hard time connecting with people, I’d get her some novels. Another poster recommended a WW2 book, which made me think of The Book Thief. Might be one of my all time favorite books.
I googled it a 16 yo girl would like it and Google said
Yes, a 16-year-old girl would likely love The Book Thief.

One of the best quotes I heard from a girl like your daughter was:
" you laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at you because you are all the same ".
" you laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at you because you are all the same ".

I think you'd find some comfort and companionship with Children of the Neon Bamboo
