YA
Fifteen-year-old Finn's best friend, Audrey, is away for the summer, leaving Finn alone to deal with her parents' marriage problems and her crappy summer job. Finn's childhood friend Jersy is there for her, though, and a romance quickly blossoms--unfortunately, Jersy's also Audrey's boyfriend. It's very soap-operaish, but Finn's a sympathetic character whose believable emotions tone down the melodrama.
