Along for the Ride
By Sarah Dessen
Our Shelf Talker
This is one of those classic YA stories that deals with divorced parents, self-discovery, love, tendencies towards over-achievement—you know, the whole she-bang. It reminded me of that age—the dialogue, the setting, the circumstances tugged me back to being a teenager.- Roxanne

An Unquiet Mind
By Kay Redfield Jamison
As a founder of UCLA's Affective Disorder Clinic and a co-author of a standard medical text, Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison may be the foremost authority on manic-depressive illness.

Apologize, Apologize!
By Elizabeth Kelly
Our Shelf Talker
Not only is Elizabeth Kelly a new voice, she is utterly hilarious and unflinching. In telling us the story of the Flanagans, she introduces us to a dysfunctional family that makes my -- and probably your -- dysfunctional family look like “Father Knows Best."While there’s a certain --- and appealing -- madness to the voice that opens the story (it reads almost like Tina Fey on paper), Elizabeth Kelly has perfect, almost balletic control over her narrative. And just when she has pushed it to the edge of the ridiculous and you wonder where this is all going, an accident occurs which brings the story to a whole new plane. (I won’t go on about it here because I don’t want to give anything away.)
