Rita Finalists.

The YA RITA Finalists are:

Girl at Sea by Maureen Johnson
Leaving Paradise by Simone Elkeles
Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr
Grafitti Girl by Kelly Parra

Sadly, I've only read Wicked Lovely, though I'm pretty sure I have a copy of the Elkeles lying around here somewhere and I KNOW I have a copy of Graffiti Girl (again, lying around here somewhere).  There are a couple of YA titles on the Best First Book list, too.
