Fifty weeks down, two to go. Wow. Week Fifty's book was
The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen.
I am such a fan of Sarah Addison Allen's books. This is the third book of hers that I've read and am waiting to get the fourth. These books are hard to describe, they're not really chic lit, nor romance, neither are they science fiction even though they contain elements of all these. What they are are magical, mystical books set in small towns in the South. Small towns where secrets run rampant and at the same time everyone knows everyone else's business.
In this book, Emily moves to a small town to live with her grandfather after the death of her mother. What she discovers about her mother shocks her. The woman Emily knew is vastly different than the girl that lived there years ago. Emily struggles to reconcile her activist mother with the mean and spoiled teenager that everyone remembers. Will she be an outcast because of what her mom did?
