Review
"Exposing the heartbreak of a broken family, the complexities of denial, and the healing power of friendship, Lynch's (Miles from Ordinary) writing is characteristically gritty but also inspirational as London challenges her mother's misplaced anger and creates her own route to recovery." *STARRED review-- "Publishers Weekly""Williams, as always, keeps her prose, this time arranged on the page as prose poems, sensitive, intelligent and completely absorbing. She slowly peels back the veils on London's, her father's and her mother's psychology, eventually revealing the strong and the weak and, ultimately, how Zach died. The family she depicts are former missionaries, giving the book strong spiritual undertones that should appeal to religious as well as general audiences. Exceptional." *STARRED review-- "Kirkus Reviews""With a format and voice that will resonate with teens, Carol Lynch Williams offers a poignant story of strength and healing, all bound by the power of love and friendship. This is YA at its very best!" --Daniel L. Darigan, Professor of Education, West Chester University.

Like I didn''t care, you know? But I did. I cared a lot. And while I didn''t buy anything different from normal, she did show me how to use kohl eyeliner. And that should be enough to keep you tight, right? Clich
