Margaux with an X
by Ronald Koertge[from the back cover] "She's drop-dead gorgeous, has a razor-sharp wit, and is a charter member of the school's most popular clique. Margaux (with an x) is the dream catch of every teenage male within her radar. Encouraged by her caustic friend Sara, she's perfected the art of the sarcastic tease, while keeping her sweaty-palmed suitors just far enough at bay. It's a dreary game, but at least she's not home with Mom, the shopping-channel addict, Dad, the professional gambler, and a certain haunting secret from her past. Then along comes Danny Riley--a scrawny, weak-chinned oddball with a chivalrous streak who can match her banter and who harbors a few painful memories of his own."
