this stand-alone contemporary YA is beautiful, simple, and compelling
pg13 for some real-life adult problems and perils, plus a little profanity

This is just too slow for me, and maybe it's Deb Caletti's fault, but as much as I love me a good family drama, I don't read YA to deal so much with middle-aged and older people.
After reading Amy Kathleen Ryan's other book, Vibes, I searched out her other books. This is another well written book but with a much different setting in the Wyoming wilderness.
Breathtaking Wyoming setting, suspenseful action, heartfelt portrayal of sibling love and a certain brand of rivalry.
