Oh, a good young adult contemporary novel is such a joy. The strength of this one is the character dynamics, developed with impressive craft and showcasing the power of trust and forgiveness. My only complaint really is its length; I felt like we were existing in the world of the story without it progressing forward, particularly in the latter third.
That said, a book I know so many teenage readers will enjoy and I hope it reaches them!
