YA
Samantha, whose best friend died in A Time for Dancing, puts off college to find a job and an apartment with her new friend Mona. The story, told alternately by Samantha and Mona, touches on their family troubles, romantic entanglements, and Samantha's lingering grief. Only sporadically moving, the novel will disappoint fans of the first book.
