Kendra Kenny Lugo is the main character. Gender confused and going through high school trying to hide her femininity, Kenny grapples with thoughts of an accidental murder that took place next door, what will happen to her when she turns eighteen and is no longer her Aunt Glos ward, her sexuality (or lack thereof), and questions of what to do with her life. The story is narrated by Kenny and I believe this allows the reader to get in Kennys head and experience the events right along with her. The other characters, all play an important part in the story, but the story remains Kennys. Different, but thought provoking.

I loved this book. Beautifully written coming of age story. I just wanted to hug Kenny. Secondary characters are also very well written and fleshed out. Recommend this terrific novel from one of my favorite authors.

I liked this book, but not as much as some of Reynold's other books. My heart def. went out to Kenny, a girl who is just trying to figure out who she is and what that means in this big world. Glad I got the chance to read another book by this author!
