Secrets, Lies, and Algebra by Wendy Lichtman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a lovely little book! Tess is an engaging narrator with a unique way of interpreting the world. She is thoughtful and interesting without being fake.

Things to especially like about this book:
-- The main character is a smart girl for whom being smart is not an issue - It's definitely as asset!
-- The friendships portrayed are the kind you'd like your own kids to have
-- There are crushes and cute boys, but they don't make the girl characters complete idiots
-- When a really cute and popular boy does something he shouldn't, the main character stops seeing him as 'cute' or socially better than her
-- It was a fun, easy read
