The reader is led through several timelines, which are easy to follow, and throughout the book, the history of the characters is slowly revealed, deepening the emotional involvement with the individuals. Alva, a young teen who is half Chinese and half American, is dealing with normal adolescent emotions as well as with a new step-father whom she views as an interloper into the partnership of her mother and her. These are the three main characters, all disappointed with their lives. There are several interesting secondary characters, and the theme of dissatisfaction with their lot in life also carries to them.
Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for this book's ARC. ( )
