Southern YA Debut Novel Disappointing Despite Intriguing Set Up
7:24 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)

Lydia Blankenship is the kind of girl who intimidates all boys. She's smart, confident, and successful. Dill longs to tell her that he'd like to be more than friends, but he can't work up the courage. What's the point, anyway? The minute she graduates, Lydia will fly off to New York City, leaving him far behind.
As the three friends navigate their way through their senior year of high school, they will face unimaginable heartbreak and strife. Can the trio survive intact? Will their individual dreams and ambitions come to fruition? Or will they remain stuck in the mud that's already dragging them down?


(Readalikes: Reminded me a little of A Land More Kind Than Home by Wiley Cash)
Grade:
If this were a movie, it would be rated:
for language (a couple of F-bombs, plus milder expletives), violence, and sexual innuendo
To the FTC, with love: Another library fine find
