(4) YA In this retelling of The Picture of Dorian Gray, a homely boarding school student (unsubtly named Doreen Gray) transforms into a beauty overnight thanks to a Photoshopped profile picture. As she manipulates and deceives friends and lovers, including a besotted quarterback, the photo becomes increasingly ugly and demonic. While diluted, Manaster's mean-girl reimagining makes Wilde's original plot accessible to a contemporary audience.
