![]() ![]() There's a nice little mystery that keeps the story moving, but the most touching moments involve Josie's self-discovery, the softening of her heart, and, eventually, genuine romance with an upstanding guy and reconciliation with her mom.Įnjoyable for adults, highly recommended for teens. Her summer escape is populated by people of different ages, races, and backgrounds, and not everyone - even those she thinks she knows - is what they seem. ![]() Take a mortifying yet hardly life-threatening problem, add an alluring backdrop of sunshine, sand, and an attractive guy, and watch Josie's self-preoccupation melt away as she forges relationships with those outside her narrow Minnesota high school circle. Great writing peppered with humor and insight, the author captures the human tendency to hyperfocus on our own problems that can be part and parcel of the teen years. I'm always a little put-off by present tense narration, but I quickly grew to enjoy Josie's voice. Leslea Wahl has done it again - another great book custom-tailored to teens (teen girls in particular). 10 Problems in the Traditionalist Movement ![]()
