(3) YA A tumultuous first semester at Harvard forces nineteen-year-old Dandelion "Danny" Berkowitz to enter treatment for an eating disorder.

Danny's wry observations inject much-needed humor into sobering situations, and an encouraging it's-okay-to-not-have-everything-figured-out message will resonate with readers.
