This book was recommended by a student who reads voraciously. Once it was finally back in the library I took it home to read. I started reading it without knowing anything about it and was surprised and hooked. The book focuses on Corinna, as summer is ending and 8th grade is starting. But this year is much harder for Corinna because her mother has recently died of cancer. If Only deals with the grief of a lost parent in an honest but touching way. Corinna struggles with how her mom's death is affecting her friendships, her new worries about her dad and just how to get through each day. Not many books deal with such a real topic in a truthful yet positive way. An excellent book!
