Unbecoming by Jenny Downham

Bravo, Jenny! This new YA offering is a tricky combination of two themes dealing with the problems of teenagers and the elderly - coming to terms with your sexuality, and the currently rather popular theme of dementia. The plot unfolds cleverly and the elderly granny is question is definitely a character. I like the way this story shows two perspectives on the elderly - the teenagers see family links and some fun, whilst the single parent daughter struggles with sadness and exhaustion. Excellent read.
