OLDER FICTION

Not What I Expected

(4) YA Mostly Miserable Life of April Sinclair series. As ninth grade begins, April faces new familial conflicts, and her closest friend grows angry and jealous over new girl Sophie, April's cousin. While this fifth volume lacks the character development of some of the previous books, it's an approachable early-high-school story; April and her friends, by now firmly teenagers, experience slightly more sophisticated romantic situations and entanglements.
