YA
Harley is tired of her boyfriend Mike's drinking; her frustration boils over when she finds Mike hooking up with her younger sister at a party. She storms out instead of getting them home safely--and her sister winds up in a coma after Mike drives drunk. In narration that alternates between past and present, and with deft and sensitive characterizations, the novel largely steers clear of melodrama.
