(4) YA With their schizophrenic mother in a mental institution, their father falling apart, and their little brother needing constant care, Shana and Chloe try to find ways to cope. Shana hides her face beneath goth makeup while Chloe finds a niche at Starbucks. Told in the sisters' alternating voices, the narrative flows smoothly, but the relentlessly melancholic tone grows tedious.
