The Princesses Of Iowa by M. Molly Backes
Summary: What does it mean to do wrong, when no one punishes you? A smart and unflinching look at friendship, the nature of entitlement, and growing up in the heartland.
Paige Sheridan has the perfect life. She's pretty, rich, and popular, and her spot on the homecoming court is practically guaranteed. But when a night of partying ends in an it-could-have-been-so-much worse crash everything changes. Her best friends start ignoring her, her boyfriend grows cold and distant, and her once-adoring younger sister now views her with contempt. The only bright spot is her creative writing class, led by a charismatic new teacher who encourages students to be true to themselves. But who is Paige, if not the homecoming princess everyone expects her to be? In this arresting and witty debut, a girl who was once high-school royalty must face a truth that money and status can't fix, and choose between living the privileged life of a princess, or owning up to her mistakes and giving up everything she once held dear.

How bad am I that when I got to the part where she had a "charismatic new teacher," I thought, ooooh it's a Hot for Teacher book! lol
This sounds like a good contemp, you're right. And no Hot for Teacher. ;)

oh this does sound good. It's nice to take a break from the paranormal and dystopian stuff from time to time.
