YA
Teenage sociopath Morgan meets Janelle--who's being shipped off to relatives to get her away from her bad-boy boyfriend--and assumes her identity. When Morgan's escape plan fails, she finds that even the juvenile justice system has valuable lessons for her future career as a grifter. A fast-moving tale of unapologetic self-interest with assured first-person narration both distinctive and chilling.
