(2) YA Seventeen-year-old Cass is devastated by her best friend Julia's death. Cass takes off on a cross-country bike trip; later, back home, she struggles to mend fences with her nemesis (and love interest) Heather, star of a play Julia had been writing. Cass is both unique and very relatable. Horner manages to treat the grieving process with respect while maintaining a positive tone.
