River McIntyre is a teen who is angry all the time and doesn't seem to quite know why. Over the course of the book their identity unfolds in a messy yet realistic way, charting a journey that is painful to witness at times (especially as River makes choices you know will hurt them). This story of searching for identity and living an authentic life will resonate with many teens.
