Show me a person who doesn't cry reading this book and I'll show you a liar. Beautiful, heart-wrenching, redemptive.

Fun, quick paranormal mystery/romance. I used to watch True Blood sometimes and I was curious if the books that the show is based on were good.

This is a tough genre to stand out in after Wild got published. I enjoyed the premise of trying to ski 4 million vertical feet in a year. It's ambitious, it's interesting, and the author comes to some big personal "aha" moments along the way about being yourself while being female. That said, the writing didn't really grab me, and there wasn't quite as much depth to the narrative as I was expecting. I'd recommend Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube for a similar feminist-in-cold-weather-soul-searching theme, but with more thoughtfulness and better writing in my opinion.

Short, fiery, but eloquent critique of tourism, colonialism, and corruption on the island of Antigua.
