Ordinary people was reasonably popular for a time with senior New Zealand school students - a few copies were held in the National Library's School Services collection - and thus this American title was made more easily accessible to students.
Paulina Simons is probably another "crossover" writer - whether intentionally or not does anyone know? Her books are becoming popular here both with adults and youny adults too.

Has anyone here mentioned Ordinary People or Say Goodnight, Gracie? The teenage daughter of a friend of mine gave me Say Goodnight, Gracie to read, which I loved, and she was already a fan of Ordinary People. What makes one of these a book for young adults, and the other one a book aimed primarily at adults?
