| Summary: | Eleven-year-old Joey navigates family, friendships, and her first crush, while looking for answers to why she feels so angry sometimes and by searching for the donor her moms chose. Joey is angry-- all the time. And she doesn't understand why. She has two loving moms, a supportive older half brother, and, as a triplet, she is never without company. But there was the time she threw a soccer ball-- hard-- at a boy in gym class and bruised his collarbone. Or when jealousy made her push her (former) best friend (and crush), Layla, a little bit too roughly. After a meltdown at Joey's apartment building leads to her family's eviction, a new unit in science class makes Joey wonder if the reason is genetics. Does she lose control because of something she inherited from the donor her mothers chose? -- adapted from jacket |
