YA
Coping with her mother's desertion, her father's drunken instability, and caring for her disabled brother Evan, seventeen-year-old Savannah's anger management issues land her in alternative high school. Navigating a budding relationship with rich, sexy new student Cameron and threats from her vengeful ex, Savvy's intense reactions feel authentic, yet her neuro-atypical brother and villainous ex sometimes feel like insta-conflict devices before the tidy ending.
