Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands by Chris Bohjalian

5.0

Bohjalian perfectly channels the voice of a troubled and terrified teenage girl. While her circumstances are surreal -- her quaint New England town experiences a catastrophic nuclear meltdown from the power plant where the teenager's parents work -- her experiences are starkly real, including life on the streets, drugs, cutting, stealing, and worse. Simultaneously painful and powerful.
