YA
Wise-cracking fifteen-year-old Jay Baker's world is disrupted when his parents announce they're going to separate. While he and his sister deal with the fallout, Jay must also navigate his own love triangle and escalating confrontations with his nemesis. Though Jay's pun- and pop-culture-saturated narrative voice grows tiresome, the characters and conflicts are nicely developed.
