(4) YA Her parents' trial separation completely upends Sammie's world, leading to an unplanned move with her mother to a cramped New York City apartment. There she meets Phoebe at the dog-walking park and finds romance with Eli, the son of a family friend. Sammie's wry adolescent voice and attempts to cope with her parents' troubles ring true, even if her character isn't strikingly original.
