Girl, Unframed by Deb Caletti

3.0

If you want your mystery mixed with a dash of romance, this is for you. Each chapter starts with exhibits, clearly from a trial - the who died and who is on trial is the big mystery. Then there's the relationship between Lila (superficial movie star mom) and Sydney (trying-to-be normal teen). So much of that relationship and the Lila/Jake relationship is wrong, and the author does a great job of heightening our sense of what it can be like to be a teen girl, growing into her changing body and emotions, and having men make you feel uncomfortable and having a mother who has made choices that you wouldn't make. The mystery part is a bit rushed, and we never do really get the trial but the aftermath of what happens is very real.
