Optimists Die First |
Of course they do; they take no precautions always believing things will be OK. Pessimists, however, plan for every dreadful possibility. Petula is a pessimist; she guards against everything. When optimist Jacob turns up, both have to confront their own demons. Lively, fun, quirky, Nielsen is one of the most enjoyable of authors writing for younger teens - or anyone.
