D’Arcy’s father just died and she is having trouble finding a way to cope with the loss. She pushed everyone important out of her life. In her math class she meets a guy who also as some family secrets of his own. D’Arcy is so overcome with emotion; she doesn’t realize how bad of an influence her new “friend” is. He tries to commit suicide and that causes D’Arcy to run away from home.
The book was uniquely divided into two sections. It nicely separated the stages of grief when you are dealing with death. To me the author had several “climaxes”. Every major event had to go out with a “bang”! It is definitely a book FILLED with emotion. I’m not sure boys would enjoy it, but I think it would be a good choice for girls.
