What Erika Wants

This is an excellent, thoughtful book. Erika is a very likable protagonist, torn between staying with her dad and moving in with her mom. Her unlikely ally - and, in fact, savior and best friend - turns out to be her lawyer. Their friendship, and Erika's struggle to do the right thing (both for her parents and for herself) makes this story unique and compelling. I was so caught up in her plight that I read the whole book in one day. The ending is perfect. Highly recommended.
