Yesterday afternoon I started and today I finishedThe Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han.
The best thing about this book is that it reminded me that I am a decent writer. :-)
I am also re-reading Peace like a River by Leif Enger, which is masterful and gorgeous. If you read between its lines, it says, "You will never write something as good as me."
But thankfully I read Summer I Turned Pretty, which shouted, "But you can certainly do better than this!"
I do have to confess though that I am a fan of brooding, moody boys like Conrad in this story. What is wrong with me?
Love it! (I also love what you read between the lines of Peace Like a River---loved that book so much!)
ReplyDeleteI know. It's so incredible. I'm reading Enger's other book right now, so I'll give my review on that one once I'm finished!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I just started "Freedom" for book club. (It's also Oprah's new BC pick--Barf).
