Sykosa by Justin Ordoñez

Sykosa is a sixteen year girl who is a junior in high school. She is very shy and likes to keep things to herself. Last year she was in a violent attack that she never wants to talk about. But Tom, her boyfriend does. Tom knows about the attack because he was there. Sykosa wants Tom to ask her to the Prom, she hopes that he will ask her when Sykosa, Tom, and all of thier friends go for the weekend to Niko's cottage to party without parents being there which of course none of the parents know this. Syoksa is about a girl coming of age. She has not had sex yet but Tom wants to she wants to and she doesn't want to she is afraid. She is also afraid that Tom wont ask her to the Prom because of his best friend Mackenzie who he calls "M". Mackenzie wants to keep Tom all to herself.

Niko is Sykosa's bestfriend. Niko wants Sykosa to be valedictorian with her but Sykosa doesn't really care about it. She kinda lets her grades slide so Niko gets her on the swim team which Sykosa doesn't want but she does it anyway to please Niko, her parents and Mother Superior. This will give her the opportunity to be awarded the title of valedictorian. Niko gets Sykosa in this group of girls called the Queens. Niko wants to be the leader and is always competeing with the leader to be the best "Queen" and take over. With her parents not around Niko gets a lot of demerits in school.

Although Sykosa is a great read I would not recommend for anyone under 18. There is a lot of talk about sex and of Sykosa and her friends drinking acohol and doing drugs. It also has some curse words. I liked Sykosa and Niko from the very begining. Sykosa makes you wish that you were her or at least that she was your friend.
