I thought this was a really solid realistic fiction (though maybe a bit historical being set in 2008) where we have a teen boy deciding to get his grades and life together so he can go to college but ending up involved in helping his siblings. One brother is going through PTSD post Iraq tour and the other sister tried giving up her music career to help their older brother. There’s a sweet romance and lots of dark moment a with the older brother but overall was a really interesting and authentic look at PTSD and what it means to be there for your family.
