so-so
A good realistic portrait of how job loss and financial instability can shake the confidence and self-identity of teens. Irene's behavior vacillates and she doesn't quite know why she acts as she does. Good ambiguity on why half-sis Jenna lived with dad instead of with the family. Just wish the message wasn't so obvious and the secondary chars were more well-rounded.
For children's lit class.
