Sixteen-year-old Penelope Yeager tries to find love, and to graduate from high school a year early, as she comes to terms with her little brother's death ten years before, and the resulting changes in her family.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Lively prose, humorous situations, and certain quirks in the plot that surprise.
KLIATT

By the book's end, Lopi has truly come of age by reconciling her past, making peace with her present, and finding confidence in her future.
Booklist, ALA

At once brutally cynical and achingly naive. . . . Jahn-Clough's prose is artfully stilted--reflecting Lopi's uncomfortable approach to life--but infused with startling flashes of beauty, while her doodle-y heart-themed spot art opens each chapter with thought-provoking visual symbolism.
