I loved GET IN TROUBLE, and "The New Boyfriend" is a story that I still think about all the time. Your post reminded me that it's time for a re-read! (Also love that Kaveh Akbar quote about envy!)

“He kisses like it’s arm wrestling, except with lips.” What memories that line brought back! This story was fun and new (spectral Boyfriends!), but also such a wonderful look back at being a girl in high school. So much jealousy, happiness, frustration - never ending angst.

Thank you for sharing and thanks to Kelly Link for a unique look at teenaged life.
