A book that I start out loving and think is perfect but then goes off the rails gets a lower rating from me than a so-so book. Why did you have to do this, Natalie Standiford? I don't want to give a spoiler but let me put it like this. There's a thing that always happens to characters with a disability. And that thing happens in this book, which just pisses me off. ( )

It took me awhile to get into this one but once it got going I enjoyed it. It isn't a typical love story, and I thought it did a good job of capturing a particular type of teen-smart, doesn't quite fit in but could if she wanted to, trying to find her place in the world. There was also an interesting side plot about her parents. There was a major plot point that I found unbelievable at first that kind of pulled me out of the book but it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the characters and writing. ( )

"En pappa som jobbar jämt och en mamma som verkar smått galen och ständiga flyttar... Beatrice är van vid att börja i nya skolor. Det bästa är att inte synas och inte engagera sig. Men den här gången, sista året på skolan innan college, blir det annorlunda. Anne blir hennes vän direkt och vill ha med Bea i tjejgänget. Men den bleke sura och retade killen i klassen lockar Beatrice mer. Fast hur blir man vän med någon som inte alls vill ha vänner och som aldrig kommit över sin tvillingbrors död. Som tror att brodern finns nånstans. Det gäller bara att hitta honom."
