Loved this book! It was a little slow in places but Astrid has so much stacked against her, especially in her home life and it's great to see her come out of it with a sense of humor and love. I recommend it!
Astrid Jones desperately wants to confide in someone, but her mother's
pushiness and her father's lack of interest tell her they're the last people she
can trust. Instead, Astrid spends hours lying on the backyard picnic table
watching airplanes fly overhead. She doesn't know the passengers inside, but
they're the only people who won't judge her when she asks them her most personal
questions . . . like what it means that she's falling in love with a girl.
In this truly original portrayal of a girl struggling to break free of
society's definitions, Printz Honor author A.S. King asks readers to question
everything--and offers hope to those who will never stop seeking real
love.
