I so agree, Cornelia. That's one of the things I love about Jenni's writing. The wry humor of very 'human' moments, like Lois complaining about her teenager's room. Jenni knows just when to break the tension for us.
The characters in the story are really well drawn. Matt is a pretty 'typical' though 'super' teen. His emotions are volatile. Though he's a wonderful young man, Jenni shows us through his actions that he is not yet an adult. Mac and Marje are warm individuals you wish you knew.
