this started out really strong, but by the midway point it began to meander and thus detract from the message.  did the author not have an editor?  so disappointing because this is such a critical story that needs to be told in the strongest, most un ...more

A really decent coming-of-age story. It is full of hot button issues…probably too many. A more focused, deep dive on any one or two of the issues would have served the story well. If this isn’t on the YA list, it should be.

“I can't see the logic in medicating a grieving person like there was something wrong with her, and yet it happens all the time... you go to the doctor with symptoms of profound grief and they push an antidepressant at you. We need to walk through our grief, not medicate it and shove it under the carpet like it wasn't there.”
