Psychologically intense coming-of-age story of a girl, Abby, who is coping with the start of adolescence and her mother's nervous breakdown along with the falling apart of her family. Narrated in the first person by Abby who grows from a child of 12 to a teen of 15 by book's end; many of her thoughts and feelings are amazingly real - just like a 13 year old would think. I could not put this down once I started it - one of the better books I've read this year. Sad, but meaningful.
