A great coming-of-age story. A mother makes a poor choice and you follow the impact on her children and their choices over the course of a summer. A great story of 5 siblings left to raise themselves and each other told from one siblings perspective. The setting was very present and atmospheric. I though the author wrote teenagers perspectives and motivations very well. Two teenage girls' friendship also played a prominent role. Even though this was somewhat slow moving, I could not put this book down.
