Seventeen-year-old Scarlet Hughes is always trying to help others. When her thoughtless older sister Juliet returns home married and pregnant, Scarlet feels it's her job to protect Hayden, the sweet, devoted father-to-be. Caletti's layered, engaging story includes lots of introspection on the part of her narrator, a multitude of fascinating characters, and loads of skillfully crafted sentences.
