(2) YA Anika Dragomir looks like the All-American girl-next-door, but "nobody knows that on the inside I am spider soup." "Nerd-ball turned goth romance hero" Logan McDonough and God's-gift-to-Nebraska, Jared Kline, vie for her affections. A dramatic climax is foreshadowed by sections in italics that hint at tragedy. Anika's observations are razor-sharp, especially when she's describing other people (and especially when she's ragging on her family).
