YA
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.
