Mostly Good Girls

The higher you aim, the farther you fall&. It#x19;s Violet#x19;s junior year at the Westfield School. She thought she#x19;d be focusing on getting straight As, editing the lit mag, and figuring out how to talk to boys without choking on her own saliva. Instead, she#x19;s just trying to hold it together in the face of cutthroat academics, her crush#x19;s new girlfriend, and the sense that things are going irreversibly wrong with her best friend, Katie. When Katie starts making choices that Violet can#x19;t even begin to fathom, Violet has no idea how to set things right between them. Westfield girls are trained for successbut how can Violet keep her junior year from being one huge, epic failure?
