Suck It Up by Brian Meehl
 Meehl's (Out of Patience) contribution to the growing subgenre of YA vampire novels is very, very funny--similar to M.T. Anderson's Thirsty, but less twisted and heavier on the humor...A refreshing take on the brooding vampire romance, with a misfit vampire protagonist readers are certain to love. --Publishers Weekly

Lost It by Kristen Tracy
 Tess Whistle lives in Idaho with paranoid parents, who "became born again" after a kitchen fire. The book begins with an account of how she loses her virginity, then flashes back to the start of junior year, when she expected to stay a virgin until she is "at least engaged"... Readers may be so busy laughing out loud at the eccentric characters and outrageous plotting that they may not realize how much they have grown to empathize with desperate Tess until her relationship is in crisis. Readers will fall in love with this off-beat story--and its rich lesson about living a life without guarantees. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Breakable You by Brian Morton
 New from the acclaimed author of Starting out in the Evening (the critically praised film starring Frank Langella, Lauren Ambrose and Lili Taylor is now available on DVD).
Brian Morton's remarkable new novel begins unremarkably: a middle-aged woman, her 35- year marriage over, meets her husband at a restaurant to hash out the final divorce agreement....Terrible fates befall some of Morton's characters, undeserved; he seems, at times, to bring them to life only to make them suffer. It's a complaint usually reserved for a high power, and a tribute to Morton's craft: confuring up lives so vivid the reader mourns their passing. --The New York Times Book Review Read more at Amazon.com |
