Marlena is a literary coming-of-age novel about friendship, obsession, addiction and the lasting damage of adolescence. When fifteen-year-old Cat moves to rural Michigan, she is drawn into the orbit of Marlena: beautiful, reckless, wounded and magnetic.

Years later, Cat looks back on the brief, intense friendship that changed her life. The novel explores the dangerous intimacy of teenage girls, the glamour and horror of self-destruction, and the way one person can haunt another long after they are gone.
