These are the two books I read after Little Bee. Wintergirls, an uncanny perspective from a girl with a serious eating disorder. It was scary and sad and really good. It is still weird for me to imagine high school girls reading these dark issuey books but I guess they can help. I just worry about the kids who are desperate to reach/stand/cry out, getting ideas. But I guess ideas are everywhere, and smart books about them and about consequences are good.
Shiver, another YA (young adult) book. This was recommended to me by a high school librarian and while I found it entertaining, a girl falls in love with a wolf who is a werewolf but not for much longer etc etc, not really substantial. I don't really get why she liked it so much. I will definitely have to ask her the next time I see her.
Right now, i am back and forth between four books and not making much progress. also, i can't find my glasses right now so my bedtime reading is definitely crimped.
