Catalyst

Finished another book by Laurie Halse Anderson.  This time it was Catalyst

What do you do when you put all of your eggs in one basket and the basket blows up?  Kate is an MIT legacy and knows that is the college she is meant to go to.  So it's the only college she applies to.  Guess how that ends? 

Beyond the basket blowing up, this is a great story about the chemical reactions that occur between people.  Some reactions are peaceful, harmonious.  Some are explosive.  Regardless of the nature of the reaction, we are all changed by our interactions with other people.
