Marisa is a sophomore and determined to turn her social status around. She suffers from anxiety disorder, and spent the last quarter of school the year before at home, unable to deal with school or people.
This year seems to be off to a good start. Derek, the boy she likes, seems to like her. Nash, her friend from 4th grade, is interested in being friends again. And Dirk--well, she doesn't know who Dirk is. He runs a radio show for their high school, but no one knows who he really is.
Marisa's life takes a bad turn and knowing who she can depend on is almost a matter of life and death.
Well written, Marissa seems authentic and real.

When It Happens by Susane Colasanti
Told from the viewpoints of Sara and Tobey, this is a story of finding the one you want to be with.
Sara has felt invisible around school and with guys. Then Dave, one of the most popular guys in school, asks her out. She can't believe that it's happening. Soon she's spending a lot of time with Dave and his friends. But she's not sure that Dave is what she wants as their relationship continues.
Tobey has been interested in Sara for a while, just too shy to say anything to her about it. When she starts dating Dave, he feels his chances have all been taken away. With the encouragement of his band mates and her friends, he decides to show her who she is really meant to be with.
A very well-told romance from two points of view. Light-hearted chick-lit.
