(4) YA High school seniors Tessa and Jack long to control their own lives. Tessa's alcoholic stepfather and her well-intentioned but controlling grandmother keep her from making the choices she wants, such as pursuing her art; prankster and petty criminal Jack struggles to hide his single mother's schizophrenia. A rushed ending mars this character-driven debut about two complex teenagers, each saved by the other's friendship.
