Across-the-street Vancouver neighbors Sara (half-white, half-Korean) and Nadine (half-white, half-Japanese) have always been together--but then Nadine skips a grade and heads to high school, leaving her best friend behind. First-person, present-tense narration sympathetically evokes Sara's convincingly complicated feelings of confusion, grief, and anger during this year of upheaval. Debut author Kim's introspective story of moving from childhood to adolescence has a bygone and memoiristic sensibility.
