Kasie West's Pivot Point
This has been described as a Sliding-Doors-kind-of-book, where a teenager lives out two alternate realities, but it's actually more interesting/complicated than that: the teenager lives in a Compound (in Texas??) full of people with special mental abilities (telekinesis, clairvoyance, etc--her dad is a human lie detector) and her ability is called Divergence, where she can see what happens if she chooses one decision or another. Was that all one sentence? Sorry. Anyway, her parents decide to divorce and her dad is moving to the normal world in Dallas, and so she does a mental search of six weeks to see who she should live with, living out each moment in both realities. Obviously both involve a cute boy, but they also include her awesome best friend, a mysterious tattooed dangerous man, and a lot of high school football. Great premise and really a fun read--I also liked that the book heavily frowns on creepster teenage boys. A-.
