Quinn teams up with the half-sister she's never met to right their
father's wrongs in this thoughtful, funny, and layered novel by National
Book Award finalist and Printz Honor medal winner Deb Caletti.
Maybe it was wrong, or maybe impossible, but I wanted the truth to be
one thing. One solid thing.
Quinn is surrounded by women who have had their hearts broken. Between
her mother, her aunt, and her grandmother, Quinn hears nothing but
cautionary tales. And when she is abruptly and unceremoniously dumped,
Quinn starts to think maybe there really are no good men.
It doesn't help that she's gingerly handling a renewed relationship with
her formerly absent father. He's a little bit of a lot of things:
charming, selfish, eccentric, lazy... But he's her dad, and Quinn's just
happy to have him around again. Until she realizes how horribly he's
treated the many women in his life, how he's stolen more than just their
hearts. Determined to, for once, take action in her life, Quinn joins
forces with the half-sister she's never met and the little sister she'll
do anything to protect. Together, they set out to right her father's
wrongs...and in doing so, begin to uncover what they're really looking
for: the truth.
Once again, Deb Caletti has created a cast of lovably flawed characters
who bond over the shared experiences of fear, love, pain, and joy--in
other words, real life.
