I've been trying to read more contemporaries, as I often stock to fantasy and nothing else, so I picked up this one to try. This is almost two books in one. One story about Marilyn, her struggles with her mother and uncle and her new relationships with the family who lives below her; one story about Angie, searching for her possibly-not-dead father. Although I knew the connection between them, it was a long time before they really seemed to link up.
The struggles both girls went through were authentic, although I disliked Angie for the way she treated Sam. It was a good ending, though, and I loved Marilyn's hair of taking mind pictures - I might try and develop it myself.
A great, occasionally heartbreaking read.
