(3) YA Studious fourteen-year-old Grace lives a lonely life in rural Wyoming with her momma and pageant-star little sister. Then she's assigned to help older town rebel Mandarin graduate. A whirlwind friendship ensues, and she sees that there's much more to Mandarin than beauty and scandal. Their turbulent relationship is well-crafted and heart-wrenching; Grace's consequential self-awareness is a satisfying, genuine-feeling conclusion.
