Andria’s comments from the What's the Name of That Book??? group.

Don't Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski

The Girl with the Wrong Name, perhaps?

The Queen of the Tearling, maybe?

Maybe Lillan?

There's discussion of the plot in this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Mommy's Angel, maybe? I don't think there's a Jordan but it's a girl named Angel and she's raped by her mother's boyfriend and she's wearing a red dress on the cover.

re: people forgetting they've posted here -- I can't even tell you how often I've spent a not-insignificant amount of time searching for a book someone requested, and the OP never returns to confirm or deny. So frustrating!

The Library of Lost and Found?

Google book search hit on the sentence "America is obsessed with dead girls" in the book The Last Real Girl, so maybe?

The Dead Girls Club by Damien Walters?

There’s a lot of those: Sadie by Courtney Summers, which is YA, or The Burning Girl by Claire Messud, which is adult, come immediately to mind.

Allison, is this a picture book or chapter book?

Ill Met by Moonlight?

Anna Dressed in Blood?

The Queen of Everything? Dad kills the husband of the woman he's having an affair with, daughter goes to live with hippie mom.

Maybe The Portal?

I think this was the cover of a 90s edition

In case you're mixing up details, here's this: Beyond the Dark River. I don't think all the adults are dead but it's post-nuclear war and has a native girl seeking medicine. It was published in German as "Hinter dem dunklen Fluss" in 1989.

Bare Essence - idk about publishing, but is about perfume industry and 80s-style glitz and glamour.

The Search for WondLa, maybe?

Chinese Festivals-Celebrating the Lantern Festival, maybe? It has a recipe for sticky rice dumplings.

Possibly the Jessica Darling series that starts with Sloppy Firsts?
