(4) YA When high-achieving Mara's breakdown during a calculus test is posted to YouTube, she escapes humiliation by fleeing to Tahoe to spend time with her heretofore minimally involved biological father. Amid the ski slopes, she reevaluates her priorities and has a brush with romance. Mara's privileged background will distance her from most readers, but themes such as excessive testing and college-prep pressures will resonate with many.
