Saint Anything / Sarah Dessen / 417 pages

This is an awesome audio, so well performed and written, I found myself talking to the characters.  Teenage Sydney comes from a loving, intact family, but has always felt over-shadowed by her older brother, Peyton.  Peyton is perfect...except he makes very poor choices that lead to his injuring a young bike rider while he is driving drunk...again.  Peyton is sent to prison.  Sydney's life is forever altered...perhaps saved...by a chance visit to a pizza restaurant owned by the Chatham family.  She is stalked by Peyton's creepy friend, Ames.  I was amazed at Sydney's respect for her parents and how well she heeded their restrictions...a welcome relief in YA literature.
