Sadie Bell is going into a wonderful summer where she gets to take a photography class in the mornings using a camera her father gave her as a gift — a father she has set up on a pedestal though she barely knows him because he lives in California and she lives in New York.  Sadie’s mother’s down to earth, yoga filled lifestyle seems to have kept Sadie grounded but this photography class will push Sadie in directions she didn’t see coming through her traditional viewfinder.  New friends will challenge the relationship with her best friend.  Boy drama will muddy the waters of Sadie’s usually smooth flowing river.  And the father figure Sadie longs to have will influence her in ways she hadn’t anticipated.  Juliana Romano does a fine job keeping Sadie multi-dimensional, surprising the reader with some choices that keeps Sadie as an authentic, somewhat angst filled teen trying to navigate the “streets” of New York city.  This reader likes how secondary layered personalities of characters come out onto the playground of the characters’ lives.  Recommended.
