Booktalk Review:
How do you handle your mother dying in a hospital and feeling ostracized from the family by your father? Zoe has a lot to deal with no one to understand how she feels, until she meets Simon. He is handsome, mysterious and kind of scary, which makes him all the more interesting. Simon totally gets Zoe and even helps her, but does he want anything in return?
