(3) YA The summer before college, Battle joins her estranged brother, Nick, who lives in a theater group's communal house. With effort, Battle slowly learns to sync up with her housemates' quirky rhythms and carves out a bumpy romance with her housemate, Meryl. Though the conclusion is a bit underdeveloped, the story delivers drama, complete with realistic tension and characters.
