(3) YA Leslie, a tough teen with a quick mouth, melts like butter when heartthrob Jason shows interest in her. He sweet-talks her past his controlling behavior and her bruises, and when sweet-talk stops working, he starts stalking her. Stratton captures the rhythms of teen speech, and the subject matter is treated subtly enough that readers will stay with Leslie as she realizes what's going on and decides to take a stand.
