Kyra has always felt like she s a bit too much. Too tall. Too loud rnest. But she s okay with that, because she s got her mom. Ever since Mom got sober about five years ago, she and Kyra have always been there for each other something Kyra is thankful for every week when she attends her group meetings with other kids of alcoholics. When Mom is managing her cleaning business and Kyra is taking care of things at home, maybe, she thinks, she s not too much. Maybe, she s just enough. Then seventh grade starts, and everything Kyra used to be able to count on feels unsure. Kyra s best friend, Lu, is hanging out with eighth graders, and Mom is unusually distant. When Mom starts missing work, sleeping in, and forgetting things, Kyra doesn t dare say relapse." But soon not saying that word means not saying anything at all to Lu or to her support group. And when Kyra suspects that her worst fears might be real, she starts to question whether being just enough is not enough at all."--Provided by publisher.
