(3) YA Prickly teenager Althea's more passive best friend Oliver develops a sleeping disorder. While she desires a romantic relationship with him, Oliver just wants everything to return to normal. This culturally rich novel set in mid-1990s North Carolina and New York City explores the duo's complex coming-of-age--full of bad decisions and secrets--and the undoing of their friendship. An ambitious, noteworthy, well-written debut.
