Saint Anything

(3) YA After a long downward spiral into substance abuse, Sydney's brother Peyton--still a golden boy in their mother's eyes--is in jail. Starting at a new school, Sydney is befriended by kind, free-spirited Layla; Layla's handsome brother Mac; and their ragtag group of friends, whose support helps Sydney confront feelings of guilt and betrayal. Dessen creates complex, three-dimensional characters, especially secondary ones.
