YA
Chrissie, fifteen, is a fish out of water in LA until she meets Gypsy/witch Yvonne, gullible and vulnerable Karen, and Jimmy, the boy Karen loves but who loves Yvonne. Chapters alternate among these four well-differentiated voices, each trying to carve out a sense of self. Easton's elegant, fluid writing; believable teenage emotions; and strong characterizations make the book stand out.
