The Other Side of Dark by Joan Lowery Nixon
1.0

This book is pretty horrible.

The whole plot - girl wakes up from a coma and has to solve the murder of her mother - is completely side-lined in favour of creepy statutory-rape level romance and some random "friends" forcing the protagonist to put on make-up before she's even out of her hospital bed because "Naked faces are not in!" and aggressively bullying her into unnecessary make-overs. Meanwhile the crime is solved when our heroine goes to a party and just happens to bump into the murderer.

An anti-climactic waste of a set-up that only served to let me know how much Lowery Nixon hates women.
