(4) YA Seventeen-year-old Michal is a bookie with one rule: never place a bet for herself. But when charismatic Josh convinces Michal to do just that, the consequences quickly add up. Michal often comes across like a passive onlooker to her own life, and discussion of various social justice issues is given only surface level consideration. However, the course of events is compelling, making this a readable diversion.
