YA
Lucy's dad drops a bombshell: he had an affair that resulted in the birth of a son eight years ago. Shaken to her core, Lucy lashes out, then skips town to visit her estranged grandfather in Maine. Lucy's pain and confusion are palpable, if occasionally overwrought. The relationships among the characters--including Lucy's pot-smoking love interest (who's a good guy)--are vivid.
