other words for love
Ari is a talented artist who travels daily to an upscale school in Manhattan so that her talent can be nurtured. Ari's mother hovers over her protectively. After all, Ari's older sister became pregnant as a teen, so Ari must be warned constantly to stay focused on her ability and her future. However, real life is a bit more complicated and messy. Ari meets a new girl at her school and forms a friendship of sorts, a relationship that threatens her relationship with Summer, a friend since childhood. And then o could is Blake, someone who could also be a huge distraction. First time novelist Rosenthal explores family dynamics, first love, and art will find this a fascinating read. <16>
