YA
Eccentric seventeen-year-old Hawthorn claims not to care about social hierarchies. But when Lizzie Lovett, a popular former classmate, goes missing, Hawthorn becomes more and more fascinated with Lizzie and starts investigating. Hawthorn's offbeat sensibility and matter-of-fact voice feel fresh, but with her lack of self-awareness--and an inscrutable fixation on the supernatural--she's not always endearing.
