Fifteen-year-old Blake is in a good world – he has a new girlfriend, Shannon and a friend who shares his love for photography student, Marissa. He sends out mental calls for “Houston” while learning to steer the course in his first boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. The three seem to okay until he takes a chance photo of a street person who turns out to be Marissa’s mother. He increasingly spends more time with Marissa – keeping hush-hush about Marissa’s meth-dependent mom. Madigan includes some typical storylines: big brother, boy-girl love, sex, while weaving in details about photography. An entertaining read. Some may object to the consensual sex.
