I'd Give Anything by Marisa de los Santos

4.0

I had a hard time with the diary entries at the beginning. They're written by Zinny, a high school student, and her style in these comes across as though she is straining way too hard to sound sophisticated. But I loved the story once I got into it. I always enjoy this author's characters and their quirks. Anyway, Ginny belongs to this close group of four friends in high school and the group breaks apart due to some Very Big Happenings their senior year. Most of them seem to stay around in the same town where they grew up, and while I don't really get this as a life choice, whatever, that's what the author chose to do. There's a lot of domestic drama in Zinny's life as an adult, and there are flashbacks to high school. I just really enjoyed this in a light reading kind of way.
