(4) YA As Jaime struggles through the summer after high school graduation, she's determined to leave behind her life as a girl as she takes a double waitressing shift to earn back the college tuition her father stole from her. Her attempt to start fresh is hindered by a passionate romance with bad-boy Buddy. The action sometimes feels surreal, but Mosier's prose is rich with detail, and her honest tone gives this bittersweet coming-of-age novel a feeling of authenticity.
