YAMostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair series.
In this sixth series entry, April's relationship with her childhood friend further deteriorates when Brynn's romance ends, leaving April unfairly tangled in the middle. While the teenage-girl drama is predictable, the dynamics between April and other characters, especially her younger sisters, are well drawn, making this a resonant demonstration of the importance of nurturing loving relationships while also forging one's own independence.
