ABANDONED. YA Romance from early 2000 set in Chicago where freezing weather plays role; cover had a girl walking barefoot on the cover leaving rose petals behind

OK, I found this YA Fiction/Romance book around 2003/2004/2005 at my local library and it was relatively new at the time.

The cover had a girl walking barefoot on the cover leaving rose petals behind.

It was set in Chicago and the freezing weather of Chicago played a huge role in the plot--if I remember correctly, a teenager girl met a boy and fell in love with him, but somebody died on the ice--either his sister or her best friend, someone like that, which caused them to break up.

I also remember that the girl and her mother lived alone (single mom) and for some reason the fact that they had Sunday as "their special day" really stood out to me (e.g. a strong mother-daughter relationship).

The whole tone wasn't unlike Sarah Zarr, but I'm relatively certain it wasn't a Sarah Zarr book.

You can "bump" your thread every month or so. This pushes your thread back to the top of the folder instead of languishing here on page 178 where fewer eyes will see it. Get back in the game! Bump!
You can do this by typing a new comment at the end of the thread, or even by typing the word "bump."
Good luck!
