A customer told me I had to read this book, and she was certainly right! Set in the 1950's turbulent South, this is a story of a family and their relationships with each other and their black maid. Told by the younger daughter, this is a coming-of-age tale, beautifully written and multi-layered. If you liked The Help (and who didn't?) this book is for you.

Do you need a good loud laugh? Read I Think I Love You. Told mostly by Welsh tween Petra, the novel focuses on her obsession with David Cassidy and fitting in with the "popular" girls, who really aren't very nice. But author Pearson makes sure they're very funny. Now Petra is facing 40 and a divorce. Cleaning out her mother's closet, she finds a letter announcing her as the winner of a trip to America to meet David Cassidy. Eighteen years later, Petra wants to claim it. Not only laugh-out-loud funny, Pearson writes so insightfully about teenage, and later, motherhood angst. A gem of a book.
