[quote=Anonymous]I just finished Emma Straub's "American Fantasy." Multi POV that takes place on a cruise themed around a fictional boy band called "Boy Talk" (no longer together except for these cruises) and attended by women in their 40s/50s, who were teens when the band was popular. At the beginning, all of the POV characters are in a place in their life where they are closed off to new things happening in their future, they've kind of given up on that aspect of themselves. It's also about revisiting the specialness of being young, and kind of realizing you are the same person that you were back then. I just loved it.

I'm now reading "Before She Was Helen" by Caroline B. Cooney--a dual timeline mystery about an elderly woman whose mysterious past comes back to haunt her as she gets wrapped up in a current murder investigation. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. (And I only just now realized that this is the author of "The Face on the Milk Carton," a book I *adored* in sixth grade. I knew her name sounded familiar! Full circle moment.) [/quote]
