Battle Dress

by Amy Efaw
loaned to me by a student, paperback, 290 pages
genre: YA fiction

Andi (Andrea) Davis is going to West Point. Her family is more doubtful than supportive that she can make it there. The toughness of Beast (basic training) and the challenges - both physical and mental - make her question herself over and over again.

Interesting book. Now that I've read it, I'm curious to hear why the student who loaned it to me liked it so much. The military part? Her personal struggle to succeed? There wasn't really any romance and not much in the way of subplots, but it was a worthwhile read.
