A 2018-2019 Missouri Gateway Readers Award preliminary nominee (grades 9-12). Otis and Meg were best friends, but then Otis's little brother died in a horrible accident (of which we do not learn the details until quite late in the novel) and Meg's family moved away. After three years of silence, Meg is back for three weeks, and Otis isn't sure what to think. I have mixed feelings about this. I didn't dislike the writing, but I did not care for the story. I wish there was more Dara and Otis and the swim lessons. Less of the other stuff.
