520    By examining the novels of critically and commercially 
       successful authors such as Sarah Dessen (Someone Like You),
       Stephenie Meyer (the Twilight series), and Laurie Halse 
       Anderson (Speak), this book explores the use of narrative 
       intimacy as a means of reflecting and reinforcing larger, 
       often contradictory, cultural expectations regarding 
       adolescent women, interpersonal relationships, and 
       intimacy. The author explains the construction of narrator
       -reader relationships in recent American novels written 
       about adolescent women and marketed to adolescent women. 
       Such levels of imagined friendship, however, lead to 
       contradictory cultural expectations for the young women so
       deeply obsessed with reading these novels. The author 
       coins the term "narrative intimacy" to refer to the 
       implicit relationship between narrator and reader that 
       depends on an imaginary disclosure and trust between the 
       story's narrator and the reader. Through critical 
       examination, the inherent contradictions between this 
       enclosed, imagined relationship and the real expectations 
       for adolescent women's relations prove to be problematic. 
       In many novels for young women, adolescent female 
       narrators construct conceptions of the adolescent woman 
       reader, constructions that allow the narrator to 
       understand the reader as a confidant, a safe and 
       appropriate location for disclosure. At the same time, 
       such novels offer frequent warnings against the sort of 
       unfettered confession the narrators perform. Friendships 
       are marked as potential sites of betrayal and rejection. 
       Romantic relationships are presented as inherently 
       threatening to physical and emotional health. And so, the 
       narrator turns to the reader for an ally who cannot judge.
       The reader, in turn, may come to depend upon narrative 
       intimacy in order to vicariously explore her own 
       understanding of human expression and bonds.--description
