THE SURVIVAL KIT, by Donna Frietas
The story: Rose's mother has died, and it seems a part of Rose died with her. The high-school senior just can't get interested in school, life, or even her longtime boyfriend. But when she discovers a "survival kit" that her mother made for her, with little gifts to help her deal with her loss, Rose begins a gradual return to life. And it doesn't hurt that Will, the hunky guy who does their yardwork, knows what she's going through...and what to do to help her most.
June Cleaver’s ratings: Language PG; Nudity G; Sexual Content PG-13; Violence G; Substance Abuse PG; Magic & the Occult G; GLBT Content G; Adult Themes (death & dealing with it) PG; overall rating PG-13.
Liz's comments: Rose and her old boyfriend were clearly having sex, although nothing of that sort occurs between her and Will. Even so, that opens up the assumption that it's next on the list for them too, which are two jarring notes in a sweet story that's otherwise suitable for MS girls.
