review 1: Since Frankie's little brother drowned four years ago, her family has been broken. She blames herself and remains disconnected from her fragile mother. The summer she turns sixteen, Frankie tries to break away from the sadness and guilt she feels. Through her relationships with her friends and family, and a little boy who reminds her of her brother--Frankie finds hope and the strength to confront her problems. The characters are drawn honestly and I like that their problems aren't resolved neatly. Life is messy. Loss hurts. People fail us. Love remains. A memorable story that will resonate with many readers.
review 2: I listened to this audiobook. Great story! Frankie blames herself for a horrible accident and believes her parents blame her too. She spends the... more summer between her 10th and 11th grade years of high school trying to work through this and many other problems including reincarnation, boys, and a best friend. I cried and laughed but I don’t recommend it for my students (6th graders) because of some content. less
