YA
Violet's best friend Katie, a model student, is tired of being perfect. Certain that there is more to life than money and grades, Katie begins to distance herself from the girls' elite prep school world--and from Violet. Readers will sympathize with both Violet's desire to keep life the same and Katie's need to change and grow. Violet's wry narration enlivens the plot.
