I am in secondary school and have no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics except what it is about and I started gaining interest in the subject so I was wondering which book/s I should get so I will understand better the subject e.g the mathematics used in the subject.

For a general overview (but without much mathematics) try The Quantum Universe by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw. Or for a more detailed introduction, The New Quantum Universe by Tony Hey and Patrick Walters (despite the similarity in titles, these two books are not related to one another).

Carlo Rovelli's Helgoland gives a historical introduction, although it also promotes Rovelli's own interpretation of QM, which is called relational quantum mechanics.

For a more mathematical treatment, Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum by Leonard Susskind and Art Friedman is a good place to start, although it does assume a basic knowledge of calculus and linear algebra.
