comment
Saint Anything is a 2015 young adult novel by Sarah Dessen.Sydney Stanford's older brother Peyton was the glue that held the family together— until he lands in prison after a drunk-driving accident seriously injures a teenage boy. Sydney is left adrift in the aftermath, angry that her parents continue to see Peyton as a victim and don't seem to care about the boy he hurt. When she transfers schools, hoping for a change, she meets the close-knit and slightly eccentric Chatham family. As the Chathams accept her into their lives, she begins to gain new insight into her own family and herself.

Always Someone Better: Sydney initially felt this way about her brother Peyton but once he starts acting out this opinion lessens.

Papa Wolf: Whatever Sydney's dad does to Ames after catching him assaulting Sydney, it's enough that Ames could have pressed charges; he only backs off when Sydney agrees not to press charges on Ames.

Clueless Chick-Magnet: Mac due to having lost a lot of weight and and only recently coming to his own. Sydney is kind of a Clueless Dude Magnet.

Bait-and-Switch: Saint Anything hints that Sydney will visit Peyton in prison or talk to David Ibarra. At the end she merely has plans to visit Peyton and although she does go to see David, we don't see the conversation.

Faux Affably Evil: Ames has been the Stanford parents' rock ever since Peyton went to prison, especially sympathetic and supportive towards Julie. Sydney, however, sees through him and is repulsed. And then he catches her trying to sneak out...

Never My Fault: Sydney feels that her family believes that nothing is ever her brother Peyton's fault. Over the course of the story she learns that this isn't really the case, and Peyton in particular feels a lot of guilt.

Continuity Nod: Rogerson of Dreamland is mentioned. He is apparently incarcerated in the same prison as Peyton. Mac is wearing a Truth Squad t-shirt when Layla first meets him. Dave from What Happened to Goodbye takes Sydney's orders at Frazier Bakery, and Deb is still the Jackson High student ambassador.

Adults Are Useless
 Saint Anything / int_a939d96a
comment
Adults Are Useless: Sydney's parents are unaware of how uncomfortable Ames makes Sydney feel, even allowing him to stay at the house alone with her and eventually let him move in with them. Near the end they finally start to pick up on it and kick him out but it's not until they catch him trying to force himself on Sydney that they really figure it out. Averted with Mrs. Chatham, who gives Sydney advice at several points.
