(3) YA From the author of Fifteen Love, another novel told from alternating perspectives--this time, those of various employees of a large supermarket, from pill-popping Jared to aspiring nurse Louisa to modern Muslim Rahel. Although the end result is somewhat disjointed, the individual portraits have depth and variety. Entertaining and undemanding, the book may engage reluctant readers.
