Thanks to Scholastic and the SLJ Teen Live virtual conference for providing me a free copy to review* "teen" fiction (reads more like adult fiction); LGBTQ teen with (possibly autistic?) brother, anxiety-ridden mom, and estranged grandmother with Alzheimers (who gave birth and then seemingly abandoned the mom as an unwed teen). I only got to page 40 (Chapter 6); the characters, for all of their issues, were extremely dull and the unraveling stories were not interesting enough to pull me in. I read this book about three generations of women in the family on the advice of a librarian. It was interesting but I didn't love the book. One of the characters, Mary, is the grandmother and she has the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease. The youngest woman is Katie, a highschooler. The third character is Caroline, Katie's mother and Mary's daughter. Each of these women have a secret that they are unable to share until one day when everything comes to light. So, I just read this book again, and honestly did not know that I had already read it! Nothing was familiar to me. NOTHING! Still would give it 3 stars. #Unbecoming #JennyDownham I enjoyed this YA book about 3 generations of women, told from the perspective of teenage Katie & her grandmother, Mary. The audiobook is read by the author, and the story is fleshed out enough where I was sympathetic to everyone- even Katie's mother, Caroline, though that took me awhile. I'd like to read more of Downham's work. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Life has just become very complicated for seventeen-year-old Katie; her father walked out a year ago, her mother is stressed out, her brother is a "special needs" teenager, and she is caring for the maternal grandmother she has never met, who is suffering from Alzheimer's--and Katie has a secret of her own that she cannot reveal.
