None of Mel’s friends know about what happened to her brother. They don’t even know why she missed so much school last year or why she had to break off her friendship with Zumi, Connor, and Annie. But as managing her bipolar disorder becomes more of a challenge, Mel worries that they might start to guess her secrets. Especially as her new friendship with David seems like it could become more than just a friendship. In order for that to happen, though, she will have to let him in.
I had trouble putting this book down! Lindstrom masterfully builds suspense as readers yearn to uncover Mel’s hinted-at secrets while at the same time developing his rich and interesting characters. I highly recommend this novel to teen realistic fiction fans!
