Back from Boston and time to catch up



Jersey Tomatoes are the Best
 by Maria Padian

Good title for one of the better teen books I've read in a while.  A lot of unresolved emotions and conflicts that never came to a confrontation--like real life.  Some of them did.  Sort of.  Can't be more specific without giving it away.
Remarkably sane depiction of teens on the verge of sex.  But again, can't be more specific.

So what can I say about it, other than to recommended it?  Great story of a girl who lives and breathes competitive tennis and has a father who lives and breathes her competitive tennis.  Good story of a girl who lives and breathes ballet and has a mother who, likewise.  The two are the best of friends--and maybe that will pull them through the hard times. Keep your fingers crossed.
