Anna Lucia Bell's parents seem perfect for each other, yet they seem to be getting a divorce anyway. She's not talking to her best friend (who has found a new friend), her mother is also selling the family bookstore, and now she's going to vacation for the summer in Rockport, Massachusetts. She hasn't been there since she was a child. The narrator of this books is 14, and feels 14. She's learning about herself, and what it means to be a friend, and some truths about her parents (who sometimes feel too good to be true). This would definitely be classified as a "clean read" if you had someone looking for that.
