Wink Poppy Midnight by April Genevieve Tucholke

I'm a big fan of the "etherial teenage girl" sub-genre—Nova Ren Suma, Emma Cline, Maggie Steifvater—and I'm glad I found another author to add to this list. This story is atmospheric with a dusting of magical realism and revolves around some complex psychological manipulation. Even though Wink's character motivation as explained in the story didn't make sense to me, it still made for a good story.
