  <default_description>Stuck at home caring for her severely depressed mother and abandoned by her father, Mazzy has only the day-to-day dramas of her neighborhood to keep her busy. But between flirting with the boy next door and worrying about the fact that she's flat-chested, Mazzy has to face the fact that her mom is emotionally paralyzed by a family tragedy. As readers delve into the story, they'll eventually discover what it was that tore Mazzy's family apart, and they'll see what it takes to put it back together. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Despite its serious subject matter, &lt;EM&gt;Mazzy &lt;/EM&gt;brings humor to the trying age of adolescence and gives readers just the kind of awkward, troubled, and endearing character they will gladly embrace.</default_description>

The characters and the story by the end have such depth and multiple layers...yet are so simple and real. This is a fast read, I read it while my husband was at the gym--books don't have to be over 30...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51742894">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This memorable book is breezy in style but not in substance. It's the story of a tween in the aftermath of a family tragedy that left her mother almost comatose with depression and her father unable to bring himself home from work. There are a few pages, when the details of the tragedy are revealed,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71276572">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I finished Everything is Fine in about one sitting. The writing is so crisp and minimalist and evocative that you devour the story before realizing what Ann Dee's up to. She doesn't give us much time to reflect, which makes it all the more necessary to pay attention to the psychological nuance.

    <body><![CDATA[Everything Is Fine is told in verses which creates a quick and interesting read. It reminded me a bad performance, hard to keep your eyes away but leaves an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of your stomach. Or the tryouts for American Idol.

    <body><![CDATA[I listened to this so I'm going to have to pick up the book to see the illustrations. I think they must add a lot to the story, a depth missing from the audio version. Dealing with death and the grief that comes with it are common topics in YA literature, sometimes a bit too common.
