Review
Grief is an overpowering emotional that manifest itself differently in the lives of the two main characters. Cloudy lost her best friend when Ashlyn died, yet she seems to be dealing. It is much different for Kyle who lost his girlfriend and is obviously suffering. These young people reveal their pain while on a road trip together in search of Ashlyn's donor recipients. Andreani and Scott have given us a quirky and sad coming of age story that will tear at the heartstrings. The plot line is new and fresh but the situation and opportunities that lead to the road trip are a little unrealistic. A dusting of romance adds to the readability of this realistic novel. Teen girls will find this novel irresistible. Add to high school media centers and to public library YA collections.
Overall Book Score: very good
