This book captures the sweet rounded feel of summer, along with the sibling rivalry that is hidden beneath all sibling relationships. It captures the harrowing feeling of loss, and the echoes left behind from Molly. It speaks of how much a life can be changed by a simple move, a loss, in a short amount of time. Meg learns what it means to be beautiful. I certainly recommend.
