About This Book

It is a perfect choice for a teen who feels like they do not quite fit into the standard high school molds and needs to see that genuine connection can happen in unexpected, low pressure ways. Lily is a creative and quirky protagonist who feels overshadowed by her large, chaotic family and misunderstood by her peers.
