(2) YA Eighteen-year-old Izzy becomes the center of a national scandal after a photo of her having sex with classmate (and senator's son) Vaughan appears on a website called "Izzy O'Neill: World Class Whore." The scandal threatens Izzy's sense of self-worth, her friendships, and her budding screenwriting career. Izzy's blog-style journal entries are refreshingly sex-positive and wickedly clever; readers will recognize the double standards, commoditization, and harassment she experiences.
