2011 book 269

Sara Zarr's How to Save a Life
This is the story of two teenaged girls--one, whose father has recently died and whose mother has decided to adopt a baby; and the other, who's pregnant with said baby. The former is a pretty great character; the latter is a bit more of a stereotype (mom obsessed w/ her boyfriends and her looks, and one of those boyfriends abuses the daughter--I feel like I've read this character before). Plus some other characters. And it's all just heartwarming as hell. B+.
