Gabi, a girl in pieces

Description:

Sixteen-year-old Gabi Hernandez chronicles her senior year in high school as she copes with her friend Cindy's pregnancy, friend Sebastian's coming out, her father's meth habit, her own cravings for food and cute boys, and especially, the poetry that helps forge her identity. With unfailing honesty, sixteen-year-old Gabi records her thoughts about her joyous, heartrending, and life-changing senior year. The plot contains pervasive profanity and mature themes.
