(1) YA Ellen has been in love with her brother Link's best friend, James, for years. The author sets up a riveting love triangle around her brother's sexual ambiguity and Ellen's love for both James and Link; the situation is intensified by their father's strong but unspoken desire to have a straight son and by a family dynamic steeped in avoidance. Ellen's voice is fresh and vital; the book's tone is more sophisticated than the usual YA fare.
