📖Recommend for Grades 7 and up📖
by Abigail Johnson
Due to the grief of losing the oldest child, Adam’s parents
have separated. Adam and his brother Jeff now have to spend every other weekend
with their dad at his new apartment. On those same weekends, Jolene has to
spend her time there due to her parent’s messy divorce, even though he is never
home. During their time spent at the building, Adam and Jolene form a
friendship that helps them get through this time. Little do either of them just
how important they will become to one another.
Alternating between Adam and Jolene’s perspectives, this
story is told primarily during their shared time together at the apartment
building. There are some snippets of time in-between though, often told through
text messages. While both the main characters are forced to spend their time
where they don’t want to, their circumstances for it are very different. These
differences make this book great when it comes to sharing various stories. The
differences in their situation make it difficult for Adam and Jolene to fully
understand what the other is going through, which aids the story.
