(4) YA For seventeen-year-old Sethie, an Upper East Side high school senior coping with a distant boyfriend, drug use, and an eating disorder, her body is "an endless source of fascination and disappointment." Though parts of the novel send mixed messages and the present-tense narration aims for urgency and misses, the revelation of an element of unreliable narration makes an effective point about body dysmorphia.
