(4) YA Caddy, a painfully average sixteen-year-old Brit, befriends Suzanne, a beautiful, impulsive new girl with a history of abuse and suicide attempts. Suzanne's suffering draws Caddy's sympathy, and her troublemaking ways start to appeal to Caddy, who resists others' warnings not to get too close. This realistic novel explores how troubled teens can negatively influence others--a focus that may distance teen readers with compassion for Suzanne's traumas.
