YA
Sixteen-year-old Flannery is paired with her crush Tyrone for her Entrepreneurship class project. When Tyrone is around, he's affable and sincere. When he's not around (which is often), Flannery is left scrambling. Flannery narrates with a direct, engaging voice that slips fluidly from internal monologue to dialogue (unmarked by punctuation) to flashbacks; following her narrative whims results in an unusually close reader-protagonist interaction.
