A rather thought provoking book which delves into the lives of several individuals. The life paths of whom the lines cross over and over again. The first person point of view is intrinsically useful as many sides of the stories are told at once.

I figured I should read some of Angela Johnson after she won the Margaret A. Edwards award. This is spare, beautifully plotted, and intense. It does feel like a YA book from 14 years ago, but I can also see her influence in current writers.
