YA
Jackie has fallen in love with a totally inappropriate boy--her cousin, Marcus. Their conflicting feelings for each other come to a head during a summer in which Jackie's best friend has disappeared. At times this feels like two separate novels--a thriller and a romance featuring star-crossed lovers--but the exploration of Jackie's complicated feelings helps unify the themes.
