How to Break a Boy

(4) YA Olivia starts fake-dating her tutor, Whit, in retribution for best friend Adrienne sleeping with Olivia's boyfriend. When Olivia realizes her feelings for Whit are real, she worries Adrienne may ruin his life in addition to hers. The motivations behind all the mean-girl machinations can be hard to discern, but Olivia is a well-developed character whose transformation into a person with a conscience is well earned.
