I loved Devi S. Laskar's first book and couldn't wait to get to this one! I received an ARC at the PLA conference in March and made it a priority to read around its' release date.
The story follows a trio of teenagers--Heera, Marie, and Marco--whose parents all disapprove of their friendship for different reasons. They sneak out at night and cause trouble together--spray painting water towers and stealing from stores. But then a tragedy occurs and the two that are left reinvent themselves in the wake of loss.
Though their parents try to keep them away from each other, they are bound by grief and resurface in each other's thoughts and lives often. This is a heart wrenching coming of age story that examines how we touch each other's lives and find connection in pain.
