Scarlett is a nice person, a fixer, the kind of person who makes sure others are ok. Convinced that her older sister is unable to handle her own life Scarlett is appalled when Juliet turns up married and pregnant. She adds her to the list of people she is already taking care of. Things become complicated when Scarlet finds herself falling for her sister’s husband and all of the lives she has carefully managed start to unravel. An interesting exploration of what motivates us, what is and isn’t under our control, when to hope and when to let go, and how to take care of ourselves. The bottom line: A sympathetic treatment of the struggle to mature. Strongly recommended for high school and senior high
