Thanks to everyone who voted in yesterday's poll.

To clarify, I know I don't have to blog every day. And trust me, I'll never do this again! But I was curious about whether or not I could actually manage it ... and I wanted to join Stephanie Perkins in her attempt to Blog Every Day In The Second Half Of August. I still don't know if I'll complete

Great book reviews :) I'm already on the lookout for Tara's, of course, but I'll have to look for the others, as well.

I so agree that voice is what makes a contemporary. In part I suspect it's because so often these novels are in first person. If it doesn't hook you, the book won't. But in the case of these three, it sounds like the hooks are solid. I'll be adding these to my tbr list.

Great point, re: voice in contemporary realistic fiction!
