She feels alone and misses her life back in Idaho. Marcie’s mother is depressed, which has left Marcie pretty much on her own and being the adult all while trying to cope with these changes. How does a teenager cope with such a sudden, life changing move? It’s not easy for adults to endure, let alone teens.
She’s away from her father and her boyfriend and her friends. Her mother is moving her from Idaho to New Hampshire for the summer, but that becomes more permanent. Marcie’s life has been turned upside down. Love & Leftovers is an excellent and enjoyable debut verse novel that my students will love. Some authors have a better knack for it than others Sarah Tregay is one of those authors. I always enjoy a well-written verse novel. Love & Leftovers is a beautifully written story of one girl’s journey navigating family, friends, and love, and a compelling and sexy read that teens will gobble up whole. What does it feel like, really? Can you even know it until you’ve lost it?
But understanding love, especially when you’ve watched your parents’ affections end, is elusive. She has to start at a new school, and there she leaves behind her Leftover status when a cute boy brings her breakfast and a new romance heats up. She’s left behind her friends, a group of freaks and geeks called the Leftovers, including her emo-rocker boyfriend, and her father.īy the time Labor Day rolls around, Marcie suspects this “summer vacation” has become permanent. Marcie has been dragged away from home for the summer-from Idaho to a family summerhouse in New Hampshire. My wish is to fall cranium over Converse in dizzy daydream-worthy love.
