(2) YA Appeasement has largely defined sixteen-year-old Callisto's life: taking care of her little brother to appease her mother, playing dumb at school to appease her tougher classmates, and having sex to please her boyfriend. In sharing her painful seventeenth year (in which she gets pregnant), Callisto is an involving character who directly addresses the reader in an honest, revealing voice.
