A boy named Roy befriends Tamar helping her through the her problems in her life and Tamar realizes that being bald is okay. She then buys a wig which gets pulled off due to being in a fight. She also starts losing her hair and worrying about what everyone else might think about her having no hair. This book is about a girl named Tamar Robinson and how she deals with the problems in her everyday life and the death about her two little sisters. in some places I thought it was a book where really nothing happens, but that isn't really true and it does include healing from loss and the major premise is that life continues and you have to move with it. I found that the plot had an unsteady pace, fast-forwarding and then dragging a bit. The book is short and can be read in a single sitting if you are a fast reader. She faces the issues of high school students, some bullying, some mean girl stuff, but has a supportive best friend, Roy. She is trying to deal with everything on her own and without bothering her devastated parents who are only barely holding on. The family seems to be falling apart, Mom is meditating and doing yoga all the time, Dad is drunk and can't seem to move forward at all, and Tamar has lost all of her body hair and almost all of the hair on her head. She faces the issues of Tamar Robinson and her parents have suffered a loss of 15-year-old twin sisters/daughters. Tamar Robinson and her parents have suffered a loss of 15-year-old twin sisters/daughters. What Tamar lacks in tact (and hair), she makes up for in sheer tenacity.more She joins the chess club with her friend Roy, earns a part in the school production of The Wizard of Oz, buys an awesome wig, lands a crappy job, gets invited to the prom (by three different guys!) and helps her parents re-enter the land of the living. Nevertheless, she navigates her rocky life as best she can, not always with grace, but with her own brand of twisted humor. Her younger sisters are dead, her parents are adrift in a sea of grief, and now Tamar is losing her hair.
