By My Side — Stephanie Witter

Lily Saunders sees her family falling apart. Her father is deserting her, and her mother is drinking more and more. Even sarcasm can't help Lily. When she thinks her best friend, Andy Green, will help her, she discovers how his blinding jealousy will mess everything up. And then Gabe Green comes back home. She thinks it'll be like always between them -- sarcasms and curses thrown at each other -- but she's mistaken. He's different, and understands right away the problems she's trying to keep for herself. But even if he's there for her, making her fall hard, they both know it'll end soon. Because at their age, you can't expect forever. Right?
