Please ignore Vera Dietz, by A. S. King


Told from many different points of view - Vera (who is haunted by her dead friend/almost boyfriend) ; Charlie (Vera's friend/almost boyfriend who never believed he was good enough for her) ; Ken Dietz (Vera's dad, who would like to see Vera finish high school without self-destructing). Charlie is the heart of the book - Charlie who came from an abusive home but whose worse abuser turned out to be himself. By the time he asked Vera's help it was too late to save his own life or stop the arson at the local animal rescue, but even in death Charlie wants Vera to clear his name, if she can get past her anger with him.
