Summary: What a great story¿something in it for everyone.
Review: This is an excellent book; a compelling story with rich detail and exquisite character development presenting both the complexities and thrills we all encountered while growing up. At the same time, intertwined in this gripping narrative of the realities of adolescence is a heartfelt and moving portrayal of the pain, confusion, and reinvigoration experienced once forced to deal with the unexpected death of a loved one. The book is riveting and powerful in describing our tendencies to be propelled into a quest for answers, while also poignantly articulating that although answers are not always possible, the questions we ask and do not ask shape our heart as well as our lives. The book allows you to laugh and cry and to feel good about doing so.
