Really, really liked this one. Such full, real characters, such complicated and not always healthy relationships and choices and reactions. The short, sporadic Josh excerpts were just enough to add a layer to the story without distracting from Skylar's POV. The handful of main settings here are probably some of my favorites I've ever read--absolutely loved the Paradise motel, the pool, the creek. The characters' homes/neighborhoods also felt very rich and informed their personalities in great, not overbearing ways. A well written story with a lot of elements really well incorporated without any one piece crowding out the others or making them seem distracting: growing up with and apart from old friends, unbalanced child/parent relationships, PTSD, poverty, alcoholism, first love. Highly recommended.
