Summers, Courtney Cracked up to Be, 214 p. St. Martin's Griffin, 2009.
Language: R (about 100 - 30+ "f" - and that was only before I gave up counting).
Parker Fadley is doing her best to alienate everyone around her. From being the perfect child, the perfect student, the perfect friend, Now she is self-destructive and barely holding it together enough to graduate from high school. Now Jake, the nicest guy in the world, has arrived at Parker's school and wants to know what's up with Parker. And he, of course, sets things in motion to make Parker confront the situation that started her downward spiral.
This intense novel is best left in the hands of the public libraries. It's an initmate look at the consequences of high school pettiness combined with alcohol.
PUBLIC.
