![]() Simultaneously humorous, poignant, and impossible to put down, this is the story of a girl who must summon the strength to save her family, her social life and-hardest of all-herself. Then there’s Francesca’s mother, who always thinks she knows what’s best for Francesca-until she is suddenly stricken with acute depression, leaving Francesca lost, alone, and without an inkling of who she really is. The boys are no better, from Thomas, who specializes in musical burping, to Will, the perpetually frowning, smug moron that Francesca can’t seem to stop thinking about. Her only female companions are an ultra-feminist, a rumored slut, and an impossibly dorky accordion player. Sebastian’s, a boys’ school that pretends it’s coed by giving the girls their own bathroom. It also has lots of interesting themes and amazing characters.(also, just fyi, it may take a little while to get back to your comments because this is a scheduled post.)įrancesca is stuck at St. ![]() It’s about friendship and family and working out where you fit into the world, and I really enjoyed it, because it felt so real. A couple of months ago I read a pretty famous YA novel–Melina Marchetta’s Saving Francesca. ![]()
