A Poetic Book Review (Senyru)

Only Nola knows
How alone she feels at home,
Shadowed by illness.

Her younger sister, Song,
Steals most of the spotlight as
She battles cancer.

For escape, a break,
Nola works at a resort
In Rocky Cove, Maine.

When she meets Carly,
Everything seems too perfect—
An instant best friend.

Carly starts clinging—
Flattery, compliment, or
Extreme destruction?

When Song visits them,
Carly creates some danger—
Cliff-hanging danger.
