![]() ![]() ![]() But I found that even the romance seemed to take a (necessary) backseat to the other issues in Merit's life.įamily was really the main focus of this book, specifically how messed up life can get. Usually, she writes NA novels that are much less about life and much more about romance. The main character is still in high school and things don't really make it much further than kissing, so I think I'd say this one is older YA. First and foremost, I am hesitantly shelving this one as a YA instead of NA. This was unlike any other Hoover book I've read.

Her father is seemingly oblivious to the problems around his house. Her mother has agoraphobia and doesn't leave the basement of their church-turned-house, even after the divorce. The story follows the perspective of seventeen-year-old Merit and her family. ![]()
