When Nina Faye was fourteen, her mother told her there was no such thing as unconditional love. Nina believed her. Now Nina is sixteen. And she'll do anything for the boy she loves, just to prove she's worthy of him. But when he breaks up with her, Nina is lost. What if she is not a girlfriend? What is she made of? Broken-hearted, Nina tries to figure out what the conditions of love are. She's been volunteering at a high-kill animal shelter where she realizes that for dogs waiting to be adopted, love comes only to those with youth, symmetry, and quietness. She also ruminates on the strange, dark time her mother took her to Italy to see statues of saints who endured unspeakable torture because of their unquestioning devotion to the divine. Is this what love is? 521 $a Ages 14 up: $b Publisher. 541 $d 20231206. 586 $a National Book Award Finalist. 600 14 $a Breakup. 650 7 $a Young adult fiction. 650 7 $a Dating (Social customs) $v Fiction. 650 $a Sex $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Family problems $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Young Adult Fiction $v romance. 650 7 $a Young Adult Fiction $x Coming of Age. 650 1 $a Realistic fiction. 650 7 $a Contemporary. 650 7 $a Contemporary. $v romance. 650 $a Feminism. 650 $a Romance $v young adult. 650 $a Love $v young adult. 650 $a Animal sanctuaries. 650 $a Mothers and daughters. 650 2 $a Family. 941 $a 1 952 $l UKPD911 $d 20240608010622.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=783C278E255C11EF8EDB874227ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
