Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling with the isolation of being an outsider or facing the heavy reality of a loved one's declining health. It is an ideal choice for families navigating the confusing waters of early onset dementia or for teens who feel their loyalty to a friend is pulling them away from their own stability. Set against a bleak Maine winter, the story follows fifteen-year-old Dinah and her friend Skint as they navigate broken family dynamics and the weight of secrets. Griffin explores themes of loneliness and empathy with a lyrical, sensitive touch. While the emotional stakes are high, the book offers a profound look at what it means to truly show up for someone, making it a comforting read for mature teens who value deep, realistic character studies over fast-paced action.
