Jubilee

 Jennifer Givhan wrote this psychological drama novel, Jubilee. In the book the chapters are labelled before Jubilee and with Jubilee. The chapters before Jubilee are narrated by Bianca, a girl living in California near the Mexican border. Bianca is 15 years old at the beginning of the story and is in love with Gabe who is 17.  In the chapters with Jubilee, the story is narrated by Joshua who is in love with Bianca even though Bianca has a realistic newborn baby doll named Jubilee and Bianca believes Jubilee is a live baby. Josh is sure that his love and support and time will heal Bianca of her delusion. This author has quite an active imagination. I thought it was a good story but could have been at least 100 pages shorter.
