If you're a teen, one place you look to for answers and support are your parents. When Arden's parents separate, she's conflicted about how she feels. Fortunately, she has Jamie as her best friend, but when he enters his first romantic relationship, it strains things right at the moment when she needs him the most. Much of what ensues is messy and awkward, but ultimately very hard not to follow, while silently cheering for almost all the players involved. Arden's younger brother is in as much emotional pain as she is, but deals with it in a much different way. Their dad manages to pull himself back from an apathetic darkness just in time, while Vanessa, the girl who is attracted to Arden, hangs in there when she could as easily bail. Altogether a very satisfying story, and one well worth considering for any library collection where LBGTQ+ YA fiction is important. ( )
