Megan Abbott (Get this book) The lives of teenage girls are dangerous, beautiful things in Abbott's stunning seventh novel.At Dryden High School, 16-year-old Deenie Nash and her best friends Lise Daniels and Gabby Bishop are an inseparable trio. The daughter of Tom, a popular teacher, and younger sister of hockey star Eli, Deenie radiates the typical teenage mixture of confidence and vulnerability. When Lise suffers an unexplained and violent seizure in the middle of class, no one is quite sure how to react. Until another girl and then another exhibit the same symptoms. Nothing should be taken at face value in this jealousy- and hormone-soaked world except that Abbott is certainly our very best guide.--Kirkus
