Summary:
Meet Sadie MacPhearson. She’s seventeen and lives in a ritzy,
artsy beach town called Mariposa Beach, California. Blond, bootylicious and
beautiful—she’s a main chick of the Pop Crowd: the most flawless looking,
smartest, trendiest, richest, fabulous group of party animals at Mariposa Beach
High School. She wants one thing, to keep her secret but it’s always lingering
above her head. When the administrators want to assess her for a learning
disability, she coats inhibitions and fears with alcohol, which, in turn,
causes serious damage in her life, mostly her chameleon soul.
After struggling to blend in, senior year, Sadie finds herself
without her dear grandmother, with disgusted parents, three hundred and sixty
mandatory volunteer hours and AA meetings, no driver’s license or Jeep, zero
friends, and cognitively low classes. Feeling like success is not an option
with her learning disability, she sits behind building C next to an overweight,
military loving, book nerd Jay Felix on the first day of senior year. He pushes
her to be her best self. But even at her best, can Sadie overcome her learning
disability, her struggles with alcohol and graduate from high school at the
cutthroat Mariposa Beach High School or will the lure of the Pop Crowd take her
down?

Excerpt:
"I start the engine to my Jeep and skid past them. I
crank up the volume to The Rolling Stones favorites, knocking over a half-drank
Java in the meantime, bobbing in and out of the cars on Pacific Coast Highway under
the dark sky. It's exceptionally dark tonight. I search for the stars....I look
behind me to see if my friends are chasing me...."
"Screw them!" I scream. "They are not my
friends."
I feel a wave of nausea, which for some reason forces my
foot on the gas pedal.....
