It's a bit of a story about redemption, a Secret Garden updated to the modern age, or a Thief Lord without the magic. I like that Brett doesn't actually have a complete, Scrooge-like change of heart - "From that time forward I became a better person" - but the changes in him are realistic.
The characters and scenario are quite realistic overall. A thoughtful, understated story of growing up in modern-day, upper-class California. ( )
