À propos de cet audio

Earphones Award Winner (AudioFile Magazine)

Fifteen-year-old Blake has a girlfriend and a friend who's a girl. One of them loves him; the other one needs him. When he snapped a picture of a street person for his photography homework, Blake never dreamed that the woman in the photo was his friend Marissa's long-lost meth addicted mom.

Blake's participation in the ensuing drama opens up a world of trouble, both for him and for Marissa. He spends the next few months trying to reconcile the conflicting roles of Boyfriend and Friend. His experiences range from the comic (surviving his dad's birth control talk) to the tragic (a harrowing after-hours visit to the morgue). In a tangle of life and death, love and loyalty, Blake will emerge with a more sharply defined snapshot of himself.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"With just enough humor to diffuse the tension and the art and science of photography as a backdrop, this rich romance explores the complexities of friendship and love, and the all-too-human limitations of both. It’s a sobering, compelling, and satisfying read for teens and a promising debut for a new young-adult author." (Booklist)
"MacLeod Andrews introduces Blake with energetic tones, making his repartee with friends and family convincing. Andrews also clearly differentiates Blake’s inner conversations with an imaginary ground control crew—whom he addresses as “Houston”—a device that dramatizes Blake’s feelings of helplessness and confusion when he finds his relationships becoming more complicated."
