This information, combined with the author's witty style and an interesting plot, will make this book a welcome one for mature YAs. Zoe and Cara are bright and likable, and the description of their father before, during, and after his bout with depression integrates information about the illness and its effects, providing a perspective for teens who may, either directly or indirectly, be involved with such problems themselves. However, the characters are well drawn and believable. Although it may be normal for teens to become involved so quickly, the frequency of Zoe's bad experiences in a short period of time detracts from the story's credibility. This time, however, while the young woman is inexperienced and rather naive, the descriptions are more graphic. As in Kisses (Knopf, 1990), Caseley's heroine is learning to come to terms with her own feelings while experimenting with the opposite sex. Her confusion is further complicated when she begins dating. Rachel, 12, becomes a compulsive eater and attempts shoplifting 17-year-old Cara turns all her attention to her boyfriend their mother is often short tempered and more self-reliant and Zoe, 15, is angry and confused.
