OLDER FICTION
Gloster, Dean

Dessert First

(4) YA Kat's little brother, Beep, is dying of leukemia. While Kat stays strong for Beep, the rest of her life spirals out of control; she faces high school bullies, juggles a secret online persona, and lashes out at her family. Kat's story feels a little too crammed with subplots, but her pervasive grief and guilt are intensely rendered and certainly tear-jerking.
