OLDER FICTION
Barrows, Annie

Nothing

(2) YA High school BFFs Charlotte and Frankie lament that nothing happens to them; nevertheless, Charlotte decides to write their life story for a school project. There are plot points--Charlotte flirts via text with a boy she's never met; Frankie learns to drive--but the story, with its alternating narration, is mainly character-driven. Barrows has a knack for female friendships, and Charlotte and Frankie are a memorable pair.
