Description Toward Books See You at Harry's

Starting middle school brings all the usual challenges — until the unthinkable happens, and Fern and her family must find a way to heal.

Twelve-year-old Fern feels invisible. It seems as though everyone in her family has better things to do than pay attention to her: Mom (when she’s not meditating) helps Dad run the family restaurant; Sarah is taking a gap year after high school; and Holden pretends that Mom and Dad and everyone else doesn’t know he’s gay, even as he fends off bullies at school. Then there’s Charlie: three years old, a "surprise" baby, the center of everyone’s world. He’s devoted to Fern, but he’s annoying, too, always getting his way, always dirty, always commanding attention. If it wasn’t for Ran, Fern’s calm and positive best friend, there’d be nowhere to turn. Ran’s mantra, "All will be well," is soothing in a way that nothing else seems to be. And when Ran says it, Fern can almost believe it’s true. But then tragedy strikes- and Fern feels not only more alone than ever, but also responsible for the accident that has wrenched her family apart. All will not be well. Or at least all will never be the same.

Such an emotional story!

What would you do if a tragic event wrenched your family apart - and it was your fault? Twelve-year-old Fern feels invisible. Her father is too preoccupied with ideas of promoting the family business to worry about protecting his children's dignity. When her mother isn't meditating in solitude, she busies herself with just about everything but paying Fern some attention. Her sister, Sara, is taking a year off of high school while all of her friends move on to collage. Her brother, Holden,

"See you at Hawee's!" is Charlie Wallace's new catch phrase for the family's restaurant. It is only fitting that Charlie's line become iconic for the restaurant as he is the center of attention in the Wallace family. Just 3 years old, Charlie was a surprise baby, with an overlooked older sister, Fern, a unique older brother, Holden, and Sara, who is taking some time off of school. When an unexpected tragedy shakes the Wallace family, will they ever be able to have good and happy days ahead?

Let me start by saying that yes, this is a great book. But, on a personal level this was probably the hardest book I've ever had to force myself through. On the surface it looks like a fun, light-hearted family drama that will wrap itself around coming to grips with the "outing" of one of the family's 4 kids. Oh, how I was so wrong. In reality the book is about one family's journey through coping with tragedy and unimaginable grief. The incredible difficulty for me is my own reality of losing

Such an emotional story!

Fern's parents spend a lot of time at the family restaraunt their grandfather started, Harry's, and love to use their family in the commercials. Sara is taking a gap year and not thrilled with the whole idea, although she does appreciate one of the busboys. Three-year-old Charlie is a handful, but the light of everyone's lives. Holden is struggling with bullies at school and his first romance... with an older boy, Gray. Fern is just trying to understand her friend Ran, to take care of Charlie,

I really liked this book. Not because it was written very thoughtfully or because the characters were that relatable/likeable but because it intertwined so many themes and aspects including family, sexuality, tragedies, bullying, ect. I found the beginning to be a bit slow but overall the story was nice. I feel like as I read more and more I begin to find less connections to characters and feel less emotional about them. The last time I remember actually relating to a character it was a 12 year
