  <default-description>&lt;B&gt;What's the worst thing you've ever done?&lt;/B&gt;

When &quot;Perfect&quot; Parker Fadley starts drinking at school and failing her classes, all of St. Peter's High goes on alert. How has the cheerleading captain, girlfriend of the most popular guy in school, consummate teacher's pet, and future valedictorian fallen so far from grace?

Parker doesn't want to talk about it. She'd just like to be left alone, to disappear, to be ignored. But her parents have placed her on suicide watch and her counselors are demanding the truth. Worse, there's a nice guy falling in love with her and he's making her feel things again when she'd really rather not be feeling anything at all.

Nobody would have guessed she'd turn out like this. But nobody knows the truth.

Something horrible has happened, and it just might be her fault.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[If you ever wonder if blogging and twittering helps authors sell books - here is a case in point. I never would have picked this up, except that I follow uber agent Janet Reid on twitter, and she had a hilarious exchange with Courtney Summers about her avatar (Interview with a Vampire), so I followe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73240707">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This edgy YA debut novel was a wonderful surprise - a dark, heart wrenching read that brought me to tears a few times. Not since Speak (by Laurie Halse Anderson) have I been so affected by such a self-tortured teenage heroine. Without giving anything away, here’s a brief synopsis:<br/><br/>Parke...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71213129">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Courtney Summers' debut novel “Cracked up to Be” is the reason I became a YA author. Her novel released in December 2008, but I wheedled an advance copy out of her way back in August 2008 and I devoured it. We are talking a-can’t-put-down-mystery.<br/><br/>“Cracked up to Be” is the story...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71027859">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really had no expectations for this book, so I was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be very funny and psychological. Parker seems to be a typical smart-mouthed, teenager. Except for one tiny fact: she committed suicide, and failed. When reading this book, the dialog was so blunt, but tha...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57249428">more...</a>]]></body>
