Review Detail

Immie and Jack have been friends and neighbors for years, and have a great time hanging out, watching movies the other person hates, and supporting each other at school. As they start high school, however, things start to change. For one thing, Immie finally is insistent that her mother tell her about her father. Immie's always known that she was conceived through IVF, and has never been shy about telling others this. She also hasn't wanted to know about her father, and now she does. Her mother is reluctant to say much, but gives Immie a collection of CDs from 2006 that her father put together. Utilizing technology to try to find her father, Immie puts together a fake social media account to try to figure out who her father was. Jack, who has parents who support his siblings but seem too busy to watch his soccer games, is struggling with several different issues. He isn't the soccer star his brother is, and has been prone to injuries lately. Not only that, but his feelings for Immie have changed. Every time he thinks he can make a move, Immie seems to be interested in someone else. She is; Elijah is very cute, but she also is starting to think about Jack in a new way. As high school begins, the two engage in an intricate dance of emotions where they are constantly treading on each other's toes. Set against the background of Immie's father's songs, and from Immie's viewpoint, then Jack's, and then from them both together, we see how their relationship evolves.
