Description: Gr. 9-12. Eighteen-year-old Hanna believes that she may have been able to save two teens before they died on a subzero Minneapolis night. Consumed with guilt, she visits the tragedy's site, where she spots Will, a boy who harbors his own shame about the deaths. Will tracks Hanna down, the teens find solace and a strong attraction when they share their stories, and, just hours after they meet, have sex, which is depicted in a skillfully authentic and nonexplicit scene. Then, Hanna is horrified to learn that Will is 14. Although she breaks off a romance immediately, she is drawn into his family, which, like her own, struggles with tragedy and secrets. Qualey's uneven novel is crowded with contrived connections, and Hanna's motivations aren't always clear, despite her strong first-person narration. Even so, many YAs, particularly those who share Hanna's prodigious artistic talents, will see themselves in the unhurried, absorbing portraits of sensitive teens who are learning to forgive their own mistakes and make choices for an independent life.
