I've had this book on my shelf foreeeeeeverrrrrr and I've always loved the cover.  Maybe this is too YA-ish for me? Not sure, I didn't love any of the characters which made it difficult to relate/become invested in the story/etc. Even though Penny and Celeste were East Asian, I honestly could have read them as white characters as the story lacked a cultural dimension. The dynamic between the "friends" was a little odd and shallow too...
