That's all I can remember. I want to say her name starts with a "J", but I can't remember.
This was one of my favorite books when I was a teenager and I gave it away in a fit after my parents' divorce and I regret it so much! I've looked everywhere - googled a billion combinations of words, etc and can't find it!
Any help would be so much appreciated!
