Sure Signs of Crazy by Karen Harrington
2.0
I totally thought this was going to be emotionally riveting. A young girl is dealing with her life 10 years after her mother tried to drown her and her brother, succeeding in killing her twin brother, while she survived. As Sarah approaches age 12 and is growing into a young woman, she is faced with many challenges.
She lives with her dad who is very sad and drinks to cope, she is curious about her mother who is institutionalized, and is worried about doing a family tree in her upcoming 7th grade year in school. Since her story was all over the news, her father and her have moved several times once people find out who she is so Sarah lives in fear of people finding out. She is coping who growing, finding a crush, have a college age girl be a sort of replacement mom and writes to Atticus Finch in her diary to sort out her feelings and she collects words.
Other than that nothing really happens in this story. I found being in her head only slightly interesting but not the emotional punch I thought it would give me. It's was just meh.
