Road Trip Wednesday: Best Book of the Month
This is a tough one for me, because I've been gobbling up so many wonderful books since classes ended for the summer. And even though it might not be the *best* book I've read so far, there is one novel in particular that I can't seem to get out of my head.
Tangerine is one of those boy books that everybody swears doesn't exist. It's got a strong voice and strong characters and several subplots that tie together beautifully in the end. This book is beyond believable, but the setting holds just a touch of magic, a little bit of gothic horror that gives the book a surreal flavor despite its contemporary plot. Definitely a great debut from this author.
