Fragile by Lisa Unger. A great book about choices and relationships. I liked it.

Between Sisters

Between Sisters by Kristen Hannah. Another Kristen Hannah book - I liked this one about two sisters with a strained relationship.

Those Who Save Us

3 1/2 cookies
Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum. Very interesting story about the German women during World War II - but very graphic and I'm not recommending it.

Spindle's End

4 cookies
Spindle's End by Robin McKinley. I really like Robin McKinley's books. She creates such interesting worlds. This is a spin on "Sleeping Beauty".

Angel Falls

Angel Falls by Kristen Hannah. Pretty good, a woman hits her head and goes into a coma, and wakes with missing memory - interesting.

Firefly Lane

Firefly Lane by Kristen Hannah. After reading Winter Garden and loving it, I'm reading some of Kristen Hannah's earlier books. I'm not quite as impressed with them as I was Winter Garden, but they are still good. Some bad language. This book was good and sad - a thirty year chronicle of two women's friendship.

Moonlight Mile

4 cookies
Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane. I'm always slightly disturbed by Dennis Lehane's books, but I always think about them for a long time, and I'm always sucked right into the stories. This is the sequel to Gone Baby Gone, and I didn't like it quite as well, but I liked seeing what happened to the characters from the first book. Be warned of graphic details and language.
