This week's pick is The Poker Diaries by Liza Conrad (YA CONRAD).
Lulu lives two separate lives: most of the time she's with her mom in Manhattan, living the life a private school society girl, but the rest of the time she's hanging out with her dad, playing poker and learning about what New York has to offer outside of Manhattan. Lulu likes both of her lives, although she definitely feels more of an affinity for her dad's way of doing things. But when her uptown friend Dack gets himself in a bit of trouble and finds himself owing money to the wrong people, Lulu knows she needs to use her downtown skills to help him out. However, things don't work out quite as planned, and now Lulu has a few problems of her own to contend with: her mom finding out, her mom's boyfriend finding out (who also happens to be the mayor of New York), and Lulu's own potential love interest getting in trouble because of her. What will Lulu's next move be?
