(2) YA Following her first year of college, Myrtle looks back on her high school friendship with Margie. Together, Myrtle and Margie were the "core members of Seneca High's coven." Myrtle's self-deprecating humor about her weight and eating habits is typical YA, but the narrative is without the sharp edge that's increasingly common. The novel is by turns funny and poignant, a fresh twist on the journey of self-discovery.
