Acerca de esta escucha
Sara Jaffe's engrossing debut novel, Dryland, is a smart coming-of-age novel that charts the murky waters of adolescence.
Anything can happen when Julie hits the water.
It's 1992, and the world is caught up in the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the Balkan Wars, but for Julie Winter, 15, the news is noise. In Portland, Oregon, Julie moves through her days in a series of negatives: the skaters she doesn't think are cute, the Guatemalan backpack she doesn't buy at the craft fair, the umbrella she refuses to carry despite the incessant rain. Her family life is routine and restrained, and no one talks about Julie's older brother, a one-time Olympic hopeful swimmer who now lives in self-imposed exile in Berlin. Julie has never considered swimming herself until Alexis, the swim team captain, tries to recruit her. It's a dare and a flirtation - and a chance for Julie to find her brother or to finally let him go.

Historia
Charlotte Davis is in pieces. At 17 she's already lost more than most people do in a lifetime. But she's learned how to forget. The broken glass washes away the sorrow until there is nothing but calm. You don't have to think about your father and the river. Your best friend, who is gone forever. Or your mother, who has nothing left to give you. Every new scar hardens Charlie's heart just a little more, yet it still hurts so much. It hurts enough to not care anymore, which is sometimes what has to happen before you can find your way back from the edge.

Historia
Little River, New York, 1994: April Sawicki is living in a motorless motorhome that her father won in a poker game. Failing out of school, picking up shifts at a local diner, she’s left fending for herself in a town where she’s never quite felt at home. When she “borrows” her neighbor’s car to perform at an open mic night, she realizes her life could be much bigger than where she came from. After a fight with her dad, April packs her stuff and leaves for good, setting off on a journey to find a life that’s all hers.

His older brother, Bosten, is always there to defend Stick. But the boys can’t defend each other from their abusive parents. When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again. In his search, he will encounter good people, bad people, and people who are simply indifferent to kids from the wrong side of the tracks. But he never loses hope of finding love - and his brother.

Everything about 15-year-old Cat's new town in rural Michigan is lonely and off-kilter until she meets her neighbor, the manic, beautiful, pill-popping Marlena. Cat, inexperienced and desperate for connection, is quickly lured into Marlena's orbit by little more than an arched eyebrow and a shake of white-blond hair. As the two girls turn the untamed landscape of their desolate small town into a kind of playground, Cat catalogues a litany of firsts - first drink, first cigarette, first kiss - while Marlena's habits harden and calcify.

It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn't matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, "pretty" and "ugly." And it's also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two.

Odd, but I liked it
Strange. Doesn’t really have a plot with beginning, middle, and end. More of a snapshot of a moment in time. A girl’s coming of age, trying to figure out where and how she fits in the world, in her family, in her school, and with old and new friends. Who is she in the shadow of her much older elite athlete brother? What doesn’t she know about him? He is in many ways a stranger, having vanished from her life to live his. Are new “friends” interested in her because of who she is or because of who her brother was? Throw in high school parties, and drinking, and drugs, and budding sexuality and it’s one big confusing mess no one has figured out yet.
Narration by Carly Robins is perfect.
Leaves me feeling unsettled and still thinking about these people. I guess that’s what art is supposed to do, make you think and feel. No happily ever after tied up with a bow here.

It just ends without an ending
A few books have done this before, but this caught me completely off guard. It’s like the author decided she just didn’t want to write anymore. Your in the middle of this young girls story of discovery and the book just ends with no rhyme or reason. Hated it for that reason alone. So many story lines were left completely unresolved.

Sum up the story
I am not a writer. I am not a huge reader. I am an avid listener. This was a tough listen. To say that the author over used the word "said" would be a vast understatement. I said, she said, he said...over and over and over. I gave it a chance, it was not worth the time spent.
