Lucy Jackson (1)

This novel follows five characters, all connected in some way to Griffin, an exclusive high school of students from wealthy families. There is "Lazy" Hoffman, the headmistress who is having an affair with the English teacher despite being married to a loving husband; Michael Avery, a Griffin senior whose intelligence can't mask his mental illness; Julianne, his suffering girlfriend and a full-scholarship student at Griffin; her mother Dee, who is a writer and cab driver and nothing at all like the wealthy Griffin parents; and Susan, Michael's indifferent mother who fawns over her pet chihuahua.
