The Vines was an emotional gut punch I was somewhat unprepared for. I just loved Madison, because I was that angry teen losing myself in grunge and art. Although I lost my dad to old age and not cancer, the experience of seeing someone whose presence once loomed so large in your life become frail and diminished was painfully relatable. I really loved this one, and read it in a sitting. I would have happily read this story at three times the length. 5 stars
