Lennie, 17, is absolutely devastated after her older sister Bailey dies. She deals with her grief by playing her clarinet, writing poetry on scraps of paper that she leaves around town, and falling into the arms of Bailey’s boyfriend, the only other person who understands how she feels. When Joe, the new boy in town, catches her eye, she finds herself caught in a love triangle. One boy represents a bittersweet past; the other an uncertain future. As Lennie comes to terms with the choices she has to make, she slowly learns to move on from her sister’s death. (Grades 9 & up)
