Every other weekend / Abigail Johnson.
"Adam Moynihan's life used to be awesome. Straight As, close friends and a home life so perfect that it could have been a TV show straight out of the 50s. Then, his oldest brother died. Now, his fun-loving mom cries constantly, he and his remaining brother can't talk without fighting, and the father he always admired proved himself a coward by moving out when they needed him most. Jolene Timber's life is nothing like the movies she loves -- not the happy ones anyway. As an aspiring director, she should know, because she's been reimagining her life as a film ever since she was a kid. With her divorced parents at each other's throats and using her as a pawn, no amount of mental reediting will give her the love she's starving for. Forced to spend every other weekend in the same apartment building, the boy who thinks forgiveness makes him weak and the girl who thinks love is for fools begin an unlikely friendship. The weekends he dreaded and she endured soon become the best part of their lives. But when one's life begins to mend while the other's spirals out of control, they realize that falling in love while surrounded by its demise means nothing is ever guaranteed"-- Amazon.com.

Summary
Every Other Weekend
A sparkling, nuanced, and emotional read for fans of Morgan Matson and Julie Buxbaum. Heartbreak pushed them together. Will love pull them apart? When Adam Moynihan's oldest brother died, his life fell apart around him. Now his mom cries constantly, he and his remaining brother can't talk without fighting, and the father he always admired moved out when they needed him most. Jolene Timber is used to being a pawn in her divorced parents' war. But when she develops an unlikely friendship with a boy who spends every other weekend in the same apartment building that she does, suddenly the future seems less bleak. Can the boy who thinks forgiveness makes him weak and the girl who thinks love is for fools find something real together? They'll find out...every other weekend. "A must read!" --Samantha Young, New York Times bestselling author of The Fragile Ordinary and On Dublin Street Also by Abigail Johnson: Even If I Fall The First to Know If I Fix You
