If I'm not too late... Anything by Maggie Stiefvater, truly good YA fantasy that is dark in moments but not overall. If your daughters read fantasy, they may like the books as well. I have to get the latest back from my 15-year-old neighbor. I think she's still hugging it and hoping more words will fall out.
Also in urban fantasy, I'm fond of the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. Her world building is solid and the stories are well-paced. Not challenging reads, but lovely for a day of relaxed reading (great for tub reading!). In a similar vein, I will read any of Kelley Armstrong's Otherworld series. It does help to read them in order, but it's not strictly necessary.
Since getting out of school, I mostly read genre fiction, so I have no deep or erudite suggestions.
