Saving Francesca by Melina Marchetta

Saving Francesca

by Melina Marchetta

Sixteen-year-old Francesca could use her outspoken mother's help with the problems of being one of a handful of girls at a parochial school that has just turned co-ed, but her mother has suddenly become severely depressed.

This was a really beautiful and heartwarming story of family and friendship. A lot of things in Francesca's life changed all at once, and at first, she was drowning. She always believed that her mother was the anchor of the family, and with her unwell, Francesca was forced to face a lot of truths and find other ways to cope. She began confronting the truth and assembled a wonderful rag-tag group of friends, and in the process, rediscovered herself.

I am ecstatic that I finally took the plunge and read my first Marchetta book, because it definitely delivered the feels and the smiles I was looking for.
