Quinn teams up with the half-sister sheās never met to right their fatherās 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 doesnāt help that sheās gingerly handling a renewed relationship with her formerly absent father. Heās a little bit of a lot of things: charming, selfish, eccentric, lazyā¦ But heās her dad, and Quinnās just happy to have him around again. Until she realizes how horribly heās treated the many women in his life, how heās stolen more than just their hearts. Determined to, for once, take action in her life, Quinn joins forces with the half-sister sheās never met and the little sister sheāll do anything to protect. Together, they set out to right her fatherās wrongsā¦and in doing so, begin to uncover what theyāre 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 joyāin other words, real life.
