![]() ![]() Ever since her reckless older brother, Nate, died in a car crash, Cora has felt suffocated by her small town and high school. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. From critically beloved author Lisa Ann Sandell comes this poignant, unputdownable story of a teen girl who learns to shake off her brothers shadow by becoming an artist. Even so, teens will enjoy the tension that builds to Cora and Damian’s first kisses and the tidy resolution that has Cora and her family back on track. Cora’s artistic talent is evident in her lush descriptions of settings, but the fairly stock secondary characters and the lapses in strong dialogue dull the story’s overall palette.

After Damian shows Cora a secret cache of art that he and Nate were creating, she confronts family secrets and vows to be closer to the people she loves. Her BFF, Rachel, is more concerned with boys and popularity than with helping her troubled friend, and her parents, lost in their own grief, offer nothing but severe restrictions on her life outside of school. Cora nervously begins ninth grade in the shadow of her older brother, Nate, who died six months earlier after crashing his car. ![]()
