"Dan and Tamma are in their last year of high school in the southern Mojave Desert. One is a gifted golden child, the other a rebellious burnout. They find in each other exactly what they need... As the year progresses and adult reality looms, they are rocked by change and pulled apart by irreconcilable obligations. (-book jacket). "Crux is one of the best novels I've ever read about friendship between a young man and a young woman. It's also exciting and tension-filled. Sharply written and full of controlled emotion." (--Stephen King, #1 New York Times bestselling author). Find "Crux" by Gabriel Tallent in the Russell Public Library and in Libby (the app for the Sunflower eLibrary). 📚👍
