(3) YA Chloe (Confessions of a High School Disaster) relates in diary entries the ups-and-downs of sophomore year in her "hellishly pleasant New England suburb." Mean-girl dynamics affect longtime friendships; a sweet romance with a younger boy unfolds; and she struggles with her father's new relationship and her mother's absence. Chloe's voice is refreshingly honest and often humorous in this engaging and not-at-all-facile novel.
