I think the writing and the way the characters present themselves will be factors that help teens connect to the characters and the story. This book is very ‘teen.’ I do not mean this in a bad way, but just as fact.

Rose and Windy end up involved in the local problems, so there is no escape from the real world. There is tension between Rose’s parents and they just won’t stop fighting.
