Sarah Dessen's What Happened to Goodbye
Look, Sarah Dessen always writes satisfying novels, and this one--about a teenage girl who moves with her father from place to place after her parents' scandalous divorce--is no exception. Sometimes it veers a little too close to cheesy/over-explanatory, but Dessen's characters are solid and often hilarious, so it all works out. Plus there's a guest appearance from a couple characters from her previous books, which I generally enjoy. A-.
PS. Great side note: according to this interview, the fried pickles that feature so prominently in this story were inspired by the ones at Tyler's! Man, are those pickles good.

Did you go to Sarah Dessen's reading at the Regulator last night? My daughter and I were going to go, but she got delayed and we didn't make it. She loves Sarah Dessen more than any other YA author!
Aw dammit, I forgot that was last night. For some reason I thought it was Thursday. :(
