(3) 4-6 Nora uses a secret to blackmail her cousin Riley into riding a roller coaster with her, and Riley suffers a stroke due to an undiagnosed heart condition. Nora's first-person narration explores her guilt and the complex family dynamics that unfold as Riley recovers. Well-drawn characters and authentic details make this a compelling read. Footnotes, mostly explaining medical terms, aren't totally necessary but do add clarity.
