Apartment 1986 by Lisa Papademetriou

2.0

The protagonist, Callie, is very immature and lies in order for her new friends at her affluent school to like her. Unfortunately those lies are catching up to her and she decides to skip school instead of admit that she does not have the money for a $250 concert ticket. While cutting school at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, she meets Cassius a young African American boy who is homeschooled. The two develop a friendship of sorts and the events of the week--which seem to include everything but the kitchen sink--give Callie a chance to mature and come clean.
