Weetzie Bat (Weetzie Bat, #1)
by Francesca Lia Block
Adorable. Not much like I expected (although I don't know what I expected), but very cute and fun and emotional, and a quick read to boot. I can see it's one of those books you can keep coming back to and find new things in.
I was unable to prevent myself from casting Mel as Weetzie. Heh.
