by Laurie Halse Anderson
PRMS hardcover 391 pages
genre: YA realistic fiction
Hayley Kincain has spent so much of her teen life watching over her father that she endangers her own future. His PTSD and alcoholism threaten her well-being and she doesn't even realize that she's in over her head. When Finn comes into her life, new possibilities arise. But memories and pain can be hard to overcome.
Ugh. So not in the mood to blog right now. I liked this book a lot. It felt real. Hayley's dislike of school was very realistic. I like other titles of Anderson's better, but she's writing for teens. I have some mature readers who will "get" and appreciate this book.
