Girl, unframed
(Book)

While spending a summer with her famous mother and her criminal boyfriend, Sydney Reilly, age fifteen, finds love with Nicco but her premonition of something bad coming proves dreadfully accurate.

Sydney Reilly's mother is the Lila Shore, a film star who prizes her beauty and male attention above all else... certainly above her daughter. Lila is involved with Jake, an art dealer with shady connections. He loves all beautiful objects, and Syndey can feel his eyes on her whenever he's around. Sydney is starting to attract attention wherever she goes: from sweet, handsome Nicco Ricci, from the unsettling construction worker next door, and even from Lila. One night something life-changing happens on the stairs that lead to the beach. Something goes very wrong, and Sydney learns a terrible truth: beautiful objects can break. -- adapted from jacket
