Seventeen-year-old Grey Evans loves her job cleaning cages each morning at the pet shop before school: the parakeets hanging upside down from her hair, the mice with pinto pony patches and especially a baby guinea pig who trills and purrs when she’s nearby.
Even though she’s convinced she’ll forget to change after work one day and get to school with feathers in her hair and bird crap on her back.
Grey doesn’t love when her recently divorced mother has a panic attack that sends her to the emergency room or the pills her mom is prescribed, making her ricochet from controlling to raging to zombified in minutes.
Grey walks the tightrope between following her mom’s ever more isolating rules and having a senior year with friends, college applications, and a cute co-worker named Will, in this Willamette High series novel about family and friendship, addiction and dating by the author of Alice in Black.
