Inbetween Days, by Vikki Wakefield

When Mr Right is wrong for you and Mr Wrong is right for you and you are torn between love and hate for both your sister and your mother, life is complicated. Add to that being stuck in a small town known as a suicide spot, with no ambition and not much of a future and life looks pretty bleak. This intense and complex story does have its lighter moments and overall draws a credible picture of the pain and pleasure of becoming an adult. The metaphors are sometimes a little heavy handed, but the language is sometimes poetic, the plot maintains suspense and the ending is satisfying, offering hope without tying up the story too neatly.
