(4) YA Thirteen-year-old Cassie reinvents herself as a beautiful bad girl after moving from a tiny island to a Seattle suburb. Her descent into drinking, drugs, and casual sex is interrupted when she starts to care about a girl who has real problems. The story is purposeful and melodramatic, but Cassie's travails may resonate with readers.
