review 1: Set in 1985. Apron's mother has died and now her nurse is living with them and expecting a baby. Her father doesn't talk to her much and sides with his new wife in disputes. To top it off, her best friend ditches her. She is alone. She meets her neighbors son Mike and his boyfriend Chad. As she spends time helping them in thier flower shop she learns some hard lessons about how society treat her new friends. Aftr Chad dies and Mike leaves she will still feel thier impact on her life. And she is vindicated when her father realizes the truth of her new life.
review 2: I think I liked this quite a bit... although it's hard to know if I'm biased (author is Kenyon grad). While this is a YA book, I think it will appeal more to older readers (i.e. grew up in t... morehe 80's) than current tweens -- hard to know, I'll have my daughter be the judge of that in a couple more years. It was predictable, sure, but it was a book I read nearly non-stop and I did get weepy at the end. The most flawed character, M, was a bit over the top. I could never figure out Apron's "true" feelings for Mike, but then I'm not sure she could, either. I did find the relationship with Mike/Chad/Apron to be a wee bit far-fetched, but it's not totally implausible. All in all, a good book! less
