While I'm Falling by Laura Moriarty

We all have periods in our lives when everything seems to be going wrong. The main character Veronica, however, has it worse than normal. The first thing to go wrong is her parents' divorce, You would think she could get through that - after all she is a junior in college, studying hard to keep up with her grueling schedule and still finding sometime for her boyfriend. When Veronica gets herself into a mess (which didn't start out as her fault) she calls her mom for help. Unfortunately her mom seems too busy with her own life to help - at least at first. Great characters and an interesting story line. Loved it!
