(2) YA Three misfits have vastly different post–high school options. Dill, son of a disgraced preacher, and Travis, whose father has grown more abusive since Travis's brother's death, are unlikely to escape small-town Tennessee; but for blogger Lydia, senior year marks "the beginning of the beginning." The friends' relationships are complex and credible, and Zentner vigorously wrestles with issues of faith, family history, poverty, and mental health.
