Without Annette

(4) YA When best friends/girlfriends Josie and Annette leave home to attend boarding school together, straightforward Josie doesn't fit in, while Annette, welcomed by the "Soleets" ("Social Elites"), remains closeted and grows increasingly self-destructive. A subplot involving Josie's underground adventures in the school's steam tunnels is intriguing but poorly integrated; nevertheless, Josie's struggle to define herself in a challenging new context, sans Annette, rings true.
