YA
Sixteen-year-old Sep wakes up with white lips, and her pediatrician diagnoses her condition as vitiligo. The rapid progression of the disease is aligned with her developing relationship with classmate Joshua--the vitiligo an impetus for the relationship's whirlwind pace, and her love for Joshua a force that ratchets up Sep's anxiety. Sep's turmoil is poignant, and readers will empathize with her fears and feelings.
