YA
When Mary Jane gets involved with Jackson, a definite hottie, her senior year starts looking up. But when Jackson's on-again/off-again girlfriend finds out, things turn nasty. Mary Jane's alter egos, Plain Jane and sexy M.J., are unsubtle plot devices intended to reflect the main character's sense of fragmentation. But readers may relate to Mary Jane's feelings, especially as she debates having sex.
