In this realistic fiction novel, seventeen-year-old Katie’s grandmother comes to live with her, her brother and her mom due to Alzheimer’s disease. A journey of self-discovery for all three women occurs as a result of her grandmother’s disease. During this process, Katie realizes that she is gay.

In this touching book, the three main characters are portrayed in a very realistic way and the reader can relate to them. The plot does not read in a straight timeline; it jumps back and forth from the present to the past. The author’s style of enthralling writing is clear and concise and easy to read. This novel would appeal to those struggling with parental relationships and those who are dealing with loved-ones with Alzheimer’s. This book will also be appreciated by those who are questioning their sexual identity. I highly suggest that everyone (teens and up) read this book.
