(3) YA As Musgrave notes, a disproportionate number of life's pivotal moments fall during the "terrible and beautiful teenage years," and these seven mini-memoirs on the classic adolescent banes (crushes, sex, body image, drugs, home life) are by turns funny and dire, anecdotal and reflective. Because the prose shines, it's no surprise that for many of the now-adult authors, writing and reading proved emotionally lifesaving during adolescence.
