YA
On the first day of high school, Carolina is ready to grow up--right now. New-to-town Trevor is depressed over his mother's recent suicide attempt. They meet in first period, and the rest is history, chronicled in realistic alternating first-person narratives. Teen readers will appreciate the couple's newfound wisdom about friendships, parents, sexuality, and first love. A highly appealing coming-of-age romance with lots of sex.
