The Heart Is Not a Size by Beth Kephart

4.0

Lovely and unpretentious YA novel about two best friends whose volunteer stint in a Mexican border town brings their long-forming tensions and private struggles to the surface. I was so compelled by the two girls, Riley and Georgia. Especially Riley. I wish we could have gone longer and deeper with them, yet I think the smaller frame of the story is probably the right size.
