Absolutely gorgeous. The frictions between these four terrific characters are made all the more poignant by the understanding and compassion Audrey Lang brings to each of their perspectives. The yearning romantic hope that drives her teen protagonists jumps off the page, as do their flaws and failings; and the frustrations and needs of a younger sister and supposedly wicked stepmother are given no less weight and care. With dialogue that’s both solidly realistic and endlessly expressive, this wonderfully humane story masterfully evokes all the feelings it aims for, and then some. Brava. ”
