Cronn-Mills has been unfortunately undetected for this witty, fresh novel. We're provided with an oftentimes ignored setting in the boonies of Nebraska. Morgan desires nothing more than to escape the boring small town life and be whisked away to New York to pursue her passion for writing. But she is still a junior in high school so, in the meantime, she whiles away her time working at the local grocery store, visiting her beloved grandma, and checking out the hot butt of her coworker.

This story examines the confusing choices we make regarding love and the things that test love. Morgan questions her sexuality when her next-door neighbor and childhood friend begins flirting with her and gives her an unexpected, albeit enjoyable, kiss. At the same time, she notices her charming, hot coworker. Amidst this sexual turmoil, Morgan must deal with a drunken father and a disinterested step-mother. She finds a recluse in her grandmother but the tables are turned when she discovers a terrifying secret that challenges their love.

A perfect story for those that loved the witty wordplay of Juno. This story provides a unique relationship not often explored in young adult novels, that of the grandmother/granddaughter. It also explores lesbianism but it is not the driving force of the novel. Finally, it provides a look into the perspective of the person that cheats on their boyfriend--a perspective often met with negativity and distaste.
