*4.5 stars. This book was so haunting and beautiful. I thought that one of the detractors mentioned by some reviews was one of the things I most enjoyed. Just because one major, life-changing thing is happening to a person does not mean others cannot simultaneously occur. Fridlund is able to capture the awful confusion, angst, loneliness and weariness of the teenage years with two major narratives propelling those elements and playing off of one another and eventually shaping the character in so many ways.
