Veronica loves playing softball and is getting ready to try out for an All-Star League. After coming home one evening her parents tell her that her mom is an alcoholic and will be going into rehab for several months to get better. Veronica can't believe it and is ashamed and doesn't tell her best friend because her parents are divorcing so Veronica doesn't want to add anything else. As if that wasn't enough her dad starts working a second job to pay bills and tells Veronica they may not be able to afford the softball league. Veronica works on how to make money to play softball and ends up telling another girl at school what is going on with her mom and finds there are others like her with alcoholic parents.
Veronica is dealing with a LOT. Seems very real with her anger, frustration, fear, and just typical teenager confusion about finding yourself. It was an okay book for me.
