books 2008: Claiming Georgia Tate, by Gigi Amateau

[supercheesegirl]

A really well-done YA novel. I heard Gigi Amateau give a reading in Key West and was very impressed. I'm glad I bought the book and got it signed. It's a really kind of dark book, for YA, kind of not an easy book. The strength of it is the voice, I think. The voice is dead-on perfect, and you just want to keep listening to the story. Highly recommended, but be prepared to feel out of sorts afterward.

The darkness is one of the reasons I needed to put it down. I was reading it before bed, and the girl's voice haunted my dreams. Great that an author can create a character that resonates, but not so good for the sleeping. ;)

Interesting. I forwarded the book info to my YA librarian friend.
