YA
Unlike most of Cabot's protagonists, Katie Ellison lies, cheats on her boyfriend, and turns her back on a friend when he needs her most. Though Katie is unlikely to endear herself to readers, her first-person perspective keeps them close. The book's ending is a little pat, but this exploration of peer pressure and self-acceptance features a refreshingly flawed protagonist.
