Lockhart, E., Sarah Mlynowski and Lauren Myracle. How to be Bad. 2008.
Three girls go on a road trip to see one of their boyfriends who has gone off to college. Jesse works at the Waffle House with the other two girls. Her mother has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a very strict Christian and judges others around her for their choices. Vicks' boyfriend Brady just went off to college a few weeks earlier and the only time he has contacted her so far was with one text message in the middle of the night. Mel, a rich girl and hostess at the Waffle House, just moved to Florida from Canada and doesn't have any friends. She gets invited on the road trip because she offers to pay for it. All three go for different reasons and by the end they learn about themselves and each other. Along they way they have some adventures and break a few laws.
Recommended for fans of these three authors. The book is really about female friendship, so fans of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants should enjoy this one too.

A high school librarian reviews books for Young Adults. The vast majority are books written specifically for YAs. The remainder are adult books appropriate for the high school crowd. Each review receives between one and five stars. Here's a guide to deciphering my ratings: ***** Read it. Now. **** Highly recommended. *** Good choice. ** Not so good unless this is your type of book. * A waste of perfectly good trees
