I've always wanted to read something by Sara Zarr, but I still haven't. Gem and Dixie sounds like a cute story. And that cover is just so pretty.

Gem has never known what
it is to have security. She’s never known an adult she can truly rely
on. But the one constant in her life has been Dixie. Gem grew up taking
care of her sister when no one else could: not their mother, whose
issues make it hard for her to keep food on the table; and definitely
not their father, whose intermittent presence is the only thing worse
than his frequent absence. Even as Gem and Dixie have grown apart,
they’ve always had each other.
When their dad returns for the first time in years and tries to insert himself back into their lives, Gem finds herself with an unexpected opportunity: three days with Dixie, on their own in Seattle and beyond. But this short trip soon becomes something more, as Gem discovers that to save herself, she may have to sever the one bond she's tried so hard to keep.
National Book Award finalist Sara Zarr has written her most personal and affecting book yet—an unforgettable story of breaking apart and of coming together again.

This one sounds great. I haven't read anything by this author either. Also, I like that cover.
