When high-school senior Aden tutors and becomes close to her classmate Tate, his connection with Judaism leads Aden to explore her late mother's Jewish roots and her family's grief. Short chapters and amiable narration make for an easy read amid serious topics (a friend's relationship with a teacher; Aden's brother's drug use; difficulty affording college). Aden's search for what's important to her is thought-provoking.
