*I was given an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.*

This book sits comfortably in the emerging genre of books that are not quite YA and not quite Middle Grade. I think roughly 12-14 would be the target age. It strikes a more mature tone than the average middle grade novel but the subject matter itself is not any more intense. Brie is an eighth grader wrestling with questions concerning religion, family life, her dreams/ambitions and her sexual identity. I haven’t seen quite this combination of themes in a teen novel before and I found that refreshing. We have a definite need for more books for kids who aren’t quite ready for YA but feel to old for Middle Grade and this is a great contribution to that small but growing collection.
