Another amazing read from Laurie Halse Anderson. This is not a sunny book filled with happy days and sweet endings. A brilliant Senior doesn't get into MIT and her world crashes around her. Only that's just the beginning. The next thing she knows her worst enemy is living in her room, secrets tumble out, and Anderson throws a gut-wrenching twist into the mix that makes the worst of everyone's problems seem like nothing.

This is a book for mature young readers, and more adults should read her work.
