When her mom wins the lottery, Reggie hopes all her problems will disappear. Instead, she finds herself unsure whom to trust anymore. A fight with a friend, a boy who's misrepresenting himself, a lack of direction, and a twist on her mother's lottery win make Reggie finally assert herself. Though the lessons Reggie learns are unsurprising, their presentation is creative.

Jayne Thompkins is on the fast track to Harvard--all she has to do is keep her grades and extracurricular activities up. But when her careless driving kills a little girl, Jayne goes into a tailspin of self-destructive behavior. Jayne's numbed, sarcastic method of coping is initially engaging in this debut novel, but her snarkiness sometimes trivializes her grief.
