YA
In a frank, first-person narrative, Harley tells the story of her fifteenth year, a year in which she uncovers the truth about her parentage, loses her best friend, experiences her first love, and begins to define herself. The teenager-ish writing convincingly evokes Harley's honest voice. The novel would have benefited from a bit more focus; still, the substance of Harley's experiences and her solid characterization are maintained throughout.
