I read a book about 5-6 years ago. I believe it may have been featured in the Reader's Choice Awards because I read it for a literature group but I have searched for this book among the list of the Reader's Choice Awards but failed to find it. All I know is that it was a popular book at the time.
The book was told through the perspective of the older sister of a girl who gets in a number of problems such as being taken to the hospital due to alcohol poisoning, smoking, etc etc. The girl's name may have been Hannah.
I remember the first chapter was "Hannah" with her friend, whose name I cannot remember, at a science fair, examining blood types. I remember they were dressed like vampires during the project also.
I also remember the girls' mother is a photographer, I believe and their parents are divorced.
I also remember the cover of the book have a sketch of a sleeping girl's face on it, and the background color may have been a light blue or purple. That may have changed over the years however.
One of the minor characters name was Lisa. And I remember the girl goes to a party at her house and passes out drunk in the bath tub.
If anyone knows the title of this book. I will be extremely grateful. I can't even remember the author name. Thank you.
