Another YA but better things to come

Gabi, A Girl in Pieces
by Isabel Quintero

Remarkably long and honest tale of teenager coming of age.  Her Dad is a meth addict; her mother works too many hours and isn't exactly tactful about Gaby's food issues, but she has her instincts in place when they need to be.  Gaby learns to cope with the conflicting demands of family and school  by pouring out her soul in poetry, and I enjoyed that a lot.  Recommended, especially for a conflicted teen who wants a friend who's going through the same kind of messed up stuff she is.
