grav_ityThis was a SUPER light sci-fi novel where a "mirror Earth" is discovered, throwing our Earth into some chaos, and allowing our protagonist to have her Teenage Existentialism against the backdrop of the very real possibility that there's another her on that planet. It sounds like a bit of a stretch, but I actually really enjoyed it, though usually I prefer my sci-fi on space ships. :)
I think the reason I liked it so much is that the main character wasn't white (one of her main struggles is with being the "second generation", and also with deciding what of her culture she wants, and what of American culture she wants). And also because there were about nine side-characters, all of whom were super teenager-y, which I always like as well.
Basically, it was quiet and the high school politics were painfully on point and the family drama was real, and I thought it was very well done.
