panMoody, dark & desperate, this is the story of losing a sibling while at the impressionable & angsty age of 13. Mom pops pills & Dad buries himself in work leaving Nico alone to cope with the loss of her sister & idol. She turns to her sister's boyfriend, the only one she thinks can understand her. Maybe its my own place in life, 50 y/o teacher prepping to return to school, but I found reading (previewing for my librarian) this YA a grind.
pickA beautiful novel about how the death of her older sister affects 13-year-old Nico. For such a sad topic, Prose‘s novel was a joy to read. We follow Nico through a hot summer as she drifts away from her parents and towards adulthood. Just lovely. #covid19readathon
so-soIn beautiful Miami for our 5th wedding anniversary, and I'm reading about a (fictional!) teenager's tragic death and the grief that ensues for the people that loved her...classic pick, Lauren! 😜
