What’s it about?
Sally Holt and her older sister Kathy are three years apart. They share a bedroom, and for most of their childhood they share an infatuation with a local boy named Billy Barnes. At sixteen-years-old Kathy is everything thirteen-year-old Sally wishes she could be- talented, confident, and Billy’s girlfriend. Years later Sally looks back to the 1990’s and tells the story of how one event can shape your life.
What did it make me think about?
I just found myself enjoying this book.Should I read it?
This is just simply a good story. Years ago I enjoyed “Tell the Wolves I’m Home” by Carol Rifka Brunt and this reminded me in ways of that story. It is part a coming of age story, part a story of grief, and part a love story. If you are looking for an engrossing story that is a little different than most- pick this book up.
