I received a gifted copy and am providing a review.
This is my first introduction to this author … she has taken on
some very heavy topics. She has written about these topics in such a way as to
not place blame on anyone, which I appreciate.
This book is about Emily Keller, a 16-year-old teen, who is what
you would call poor, or at least not well off. All Emily wants to do is fit in
at school. She meets Hannah. Hannah is portrayed as a well-off girl, but there
is so much more to Hannah than you might think. I cannot imagine being a teen
in today’s world or a parent to a teen.
Mr. Thomas. I don’t even know what to say about Mr. Thomas. He was
not a nice man, but an important character to this tale. His family includes
his wife and two young daughters.
Miss Jelly. You have to like Miss Jelly. She’s the grandmother
every kid wants.
Debbie, Emily’s mom. Debbie has her own set of issues. Nate is
Emily’s twin brother who provides Emily with a strong sense of support; he
quietly knows what’s going on without saying anything. Steph, a true friend to
Emily. Topper and Chuck. Valerie. Charlie. Mindy. Judge Wilson. All of these
characters help make this a colorful tale.
This book is about choices, about growing up, about the things that can happen when you make the wrong choices, but, again, it is written in such a way as to not place blame on anyone.
