This Newberry Honor covers the life of a teenager, Hope, who works as a waitress. The narrative is far from boring as Hope finds herself balancing the stresses of her new neighborhood's local election scene, a mother who keeps coming and going, and an absent father, along with all the plates, pitchers, and coffee she is determined to serve with a smile. Enjoyable for teens and adults alike. A quick but profound page-turner.
