YA
Max and Sadie have always been best girlfriends, but their friendship is tested when, escaping problems at home, they work on an organic farm in Nebraska for the summer and Max falls for a boy for the first time. Told in the second person from Max's point of view (addressing Sadie), the novel offers emotional intensity but its language is melodramatic at times.
