Achingly realistic portrayal of what kids of alcoholics live with, as well as how friendships change in middle school. But Kyra does have help and support, and Meg resolves to recover from her "slips."
Quotes
I used to like it when Mom would say aloud what I was thinking in my head. It was like she was in my thoughts with me. Lately I don't like that so much. I want to have my thoughts and feel like they're all mine instead of as though we're always sharing them. (24)

"I love you, honey."
She does? How? She doesn't know me. (phone call with Grandma, 61)
It's just a bad feeling, watching your best friend become best friends with someone else, and being too scared of pushing them away even more to say anything about it....It feels like a secret we both know but won't say. (84)
Is life never fun for her now that she doesn't drink? I mean, it's not that fun for me, either, but not every day can feel like vacation. (120)
In group we've talked about trying not to interpret silence, that just because someone is quiet doesn't mean anything bad....The other thing I know from group is that it's not my job to change someone else's mood. (126)
The worry is a fruit fly that keeps reappearing after I thought I killed it. (144)
"I don't think people know how much better it feels to just talk about the one thing you're not supposed to talk about." (Owen, at group, 180)
"No one person can be everything. We all need enough people who are each good at being a friend in their own way. No one has to be the best." (Mom to Kyra, 189)… (altro)
