Jersey tomatoes Are the Best

Eva and Henry (don't call her Henriette) have been friends since they were really little and now at fifteen these two Jersey girls are headed off to pursue their dreams: Eva to summer session at New York School of Dance and Henry to an exclusive tennis camp in Florida. Henry catches the eye of the camp's star male player and has a great deal of success on the court. Eva, though, becomes overwhelmed with her struggles with body image and is unable to fight the eating disorder that has been threatening. Full of details of the high stakes' worlds of junior sports and dance, this story of friendship told in the alternating voices of the two girls is a satisfying read. Well drawn secondary characters, including some pretty flawed adults contribute to the story's success.
