The narrator sounds more like a thirty five year old introspective intellectual than a fifteen year old, no matter how smart. The boyfriend is unrealistic also -- he is too thoughtful, too mature, too insightful. And what are her parents up to? So concerned about the sexuality of their oldest child, do they not notice that their daughter is getting into an intense relationship with a much older college man, who is obviously in love with her brother and using her as a substitute? The only person at all believable was the brother, who seems messed up and confused in a typical adolescent way. ( ) This was a quick listen. Ellen spends most of her free time with her brother Link and his best friend James. She loves hanging out with the two of them and being a part of their trio. She's also madly in love with James. Then one day someone asks her if Link and James are a couple and Ellen starts to realize how little she really knows Link. Her curiosity leads her on a journey to try and find out but it's hard to find out what someone doesn't know about themselves. I loved the friendship between the three of them but it definitely took turns toward what most of us would deem inappropriate (I don't mean inappropriate in terms of age although I suppose most people would think so, I mean inappropriate in terms of whom ended up with whom.) There was so much potential for hurt feelings and disaster but no one seemed to experience anything they couldn't survive. Even though I didn't like how the relationships evolved, listening to them evolve was definitely interesting. There were a lot of unexpected turns and everything was very much left unresolved which as a teen would have driven me nuts but now I think totally works. This was a quick listen.
