YA
Caitlin has grown up in her sister's shadow, and when Cass runs away, Caitlin is left less sure of her own identity than ever. Dessen crafts a believable portrait of a teenage girl, whose life is less something she participates in than something that washes over her. Despite the book's heavy symbolism and shortcuts with characterization, readers will find themselves being pulled in by Caitlin's story.
