There is just something about the synopsis for The Implosion of Aggie Winchester that pulls me into the story:

Sixteen-year-old Aggie Winchester is that rare mix of principal’s kid and Goth girl — a rebel, or so she’d like to think. The truth is, she doesn’t know who she is or who she wants to be. She only knows she doesn’t want to be a target. Her dark makeup and clothes, along with her tough best friend, Syliva, who bullies freshman and cheerleaders alike, make Aggie feel safe. She doesn’t know what she’d do without Sylvia always having her back.

But when Sylvia finds herself pregnant and determined to turn her booty calls with the most popular boy in school into something real — like family — Aggie finds herself utterly alone and, even worse, the target of her own best friend. Add to that an ex-boyfriend who maybe wants to get back together or maybe just wants to have sex; a new boy with equally unclear intentions; and per principal mom who might be involved in the school scandal of the century, and Aggie’s having a trying junior year. In fact, she’s ready to implode.

I just purchased the book which was released on August 4th and I'm really looking forward to reading it.
