SideStreets series.
Beginning with the death of her father, Raine feels like her own life is falling apart. Her mother is absent, her boyfriend is straying, and her new guy has demons of his own. But Raine can control the food she does not eat. ("Life is so much simpler when you reduce the amount of food you eat.") Raw narrative voice is a highlight of this by-the-numbers problem novel.
