(4) YA Haley finishes freshman year a social pariah thanks to the machinations of her archenemy (but also, in large part, to her own Harriet-the-Spy-like betrayal of her friends). Haley escapes to a summer job at a mountain resort and eventually opens up to a new group of friends who ultimately restore her confidence. Some hollow characterizations lessen the impact of Haley's tale of woe.
