Unscripted
So hard to stop reading that I devoured the second half in a single sitting. This book for young folk deals with serious, scary issues--sexism, friendship, control, date rape, butting in to help people even if it might get you in trouble--lots of that--and the power of family. And all without being preachy. I hope some youngster sees themselves in here and gets out of a bad situation before it gets worse...but that ain't gonna happen. Just like her, young people never seem to see themselves from the outside, like an impartial observer would.
I'm not sure there are any memorable characters here or anything that would make me clamor for a sequel. But still good for a one-off.
