It's the summer of 1987 and Lilith Galloway is sixteen and dealing with some typical, and not-so-typical teen issues. Being sixteen is never easy. Being sixteen in a small Louisiana town when you're the smartest (and maybe oddest) girl is definitely not easy. This is especially true if your twin brother tried to take his own life and everything you thought you knew has been knocked on end. But a new school, new friends who understand her uniqueness, and a new-and-improved relationship with her secretive twin will help Lilith realize the truth of her gifted life.
Great novella with interesting characters and a view into the lives of teenagers as they struggle with the challenges of becoming adults and making decisions for themselves. I enjoyed meeting the characters and experiencing their lives through the strong visual and emotional images created by the author. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to tweens and young adults or anyone looking for a glimpse of the struggles faced by teens today.
