The Whole Stupid Way We Are

(1) YA Skint is dealing with issues larger than his best friend Dinah can comprehend as his father succumbs to early-onset dementia and his home life crumbles. Skint's family situation is brought to life with rare clarity and painful particularity, and the more universal scenario of one friend pulled into adulthood while the other clings to childhood rings true. A realistic and unrelenting tearjerker.
