by R.A. NelsonWow. This was amazing. I absolutely could not put it down. And then I lent it to my co-worker and she read it even faster than I did.
The writing is spectacular. Please read it. Just because it's shelved under Young Adult doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.
Oh right. What's it about? This sweet junior in high school Frances has something ugly in her past. And she's just met this new guy at school who she's amazed to find out actually likes her back. Only her family and her best friend know about this horrible thing that happened to her and eventually Frances feels comfortable enough to tell her boyfriend the secret. I was blown away by it. And it just gets more and more engrossing from there because the day of reckoning is coming.
General consensus: Now I want to read more Young Adult stuff. And re-visit The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle
! That and By the Great Horn Spoon!
are some of my favorites. And The Phantom Tollbooth
! I could go on for days.
