(2) YA It's summer in seventeen-year-old Darcy's small Maine town, and things are complicated. There's the boy she wants and the boy she regrets, both working beside her in the blueberry barrens; her obligations to her beautiful but "a little slow" cousin Nell; and hanging over it all, the mystery of Darcy's missing ex–best friend. Complex but patient plotting and evocative prose elevate this moody coming-of-age novel.
