YA
Droll eighteen-year-old Bronwen fantasizes about being part of a different, less emotionally distant family. So when her perfect boyfriend Jared proposes, Bronwen accepts, happy she'll finally become "someone else." McCahan handles the subject of teenage marriage with subtlety and without lecturing. Romantically inclined readers will understand Bronwen's confusion and sympathize with the difficult choices she has to make.
