Book Description:

Sarah Byrnes and Eric have been friends for years. When they were children, his fat and her terrible scars made them both outcasts. Later, although swimming slimmed Eric, she stayed his closest friend.

Now Sarah Byrnes -- the smartest, toughest person Eric has ever known -- sits silent in a hospital. Eric must uncover the terrible secret she's hiding, before its dark currents pull them both under.

I've quit reading YA because I thought I was too old, but this book, simultaneously powerful, horrific, predictable, and full of surprises, proved me wrong.

A moving, powerful (did I say that already?) novel that everyone can relate to while no one can say, "hey, that's MY story."

I love happy endings. I love, love, love authentic happy endings that are only reached after adequate difficulty and heartbreak. Crutcher's books are always full of all three.
