Fiction Family Life
Seventeen-year-old Lennie Walker, bookworm and band geek,
plays second clarinet and spends her time tucked safely and
happily in the shadow of her fiery older sister, Bailey. But
when Bailey dies abruptly, Lennie is catapulted to center
stage of her own life—and, despite her nonexistent history
with boys, suddenly finds herself struggling to balance two.
Toby was Bailey’s boyfriend; his grief mirrors Lennie’s own.
Joe is the new boy in town, a transplant from Paris whose
nearly magical grin is matched only by his musical talent.
For Lennie, they’re the sun and the moon; one boy takes her
out of her sorrow, the other comforts her in it. But just
like their celestial counterparts, they can’t collide
without the whole wide world exploding. This remarkable debut is perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen,
Deb Caletti, and Francesca Lia Block. Just as much a
celebration of love as it is a portrait of loss, Lennie’s
struggle to sort her own melody out of the noise around her
is always honest, often hilarious, and ultimately
unforgettable.
