Mclean's dad's job sends the two of them to a new place every few months, allowing Mclean to continually reinvent herself. In their latest town, she tells the boy next door her real name--a strong hint that she may finally be home. Dessen's talent is creating a comfortable space for young adults struggling with identity, relationships, and all that messy family stuff.
