The Visitor by K.A. Applegate

4.0

Solid, very tense. This series excels at conveying the stress of their beleaguered situation. The kids are still figuring things out, including strategy, motivations and 'work'/life balance. I appreciate that there's an emotional subplot of Rachel comparing how she imagined a loss of love when her parents divorced to a child whose parents are both controllers. Also kudos for some very casual preaching on good points for teens. "Those fools who starve themselves for gymnastics" and Rachel remembering how she was wrong to feel bad after her parents divorce. Each delivered in just a single throwaway line so the message doesn't take away from the story, but I'm sure helpful to those that might've needed to hear it.
