The Truth About Leaving is a different spin on young adult romance and self-discovery. Dov’s issues include the death of his brother and absentee parents. Lucy’s lesbian grandmother and her partner are sickeningly sweet as they advise Lucy. Her father is silent while her mother demands Lucy stay local to help with the family the mother essentially deserted. Maddie is the only rational voice. The ending is an unsatisfying ‘best of all worlds’ compromise. This is readable but non-essential. ( )
