This is a very different book than I was expecting. It centers around a girl name Dani who lives with her single mom and goes to a prep school on scholarship for her debating skills and a Parachute (Chinese child who is sent to high school in USA without their parents) named Claire who moves in with Dani and her mom. The girls do not get along for most of the book due to constant misunderstanding and miscommunications, but in the end they find each has faced a similar trauma and together they seek justice. The authors note at the end of the book adds to the heart break. A very important and timely story of what it means to grow up.
