(4) YA Josh faces a senior year complicated by parental discord and a persistent old flame--then his seventh-grade teacher is released from jail, where she was sentenced for molesting him. Josh is a complex, heart-tugging character, and the narrative is strongest when exploring his current internal life rather than the more issue-driven flashback sequences and borderline-misogynistic depictions of female characters.
