(4) YA New York City–raised teenager Matisse is forced to move upstate with her artist parents after her father's Parkinson's disease prevents him from working. Matisse's disdain for rural life grows tiresome and supporting characters, such as an overalls-wearing love interest, are flat, but her struggles to repair communication with family and friends and to accept her father's debilitating illness are moving.
