Definitely YA (lots of foul language) but one of the best portrayals of a teen guy going through the crap of life and managing to somehow keep it together (barely). Fantastic book - my review is at http://www.phoenixbookcompany.com/blog/?p=504 And then in my favorite genre, historical fiction, Ruta Sepetys' Out of the Easy. It's her second book and I think it's even better than Between Shades of Gray. She creates a richly textured, vibrantly illuminated world of New Orleans in 1950 and her characters, especially Josie and Willy, are drawn with such skill and depth I could not believe I was reading about fictional people. Hope to have a review on the blog soon, but in the meantime, get this book today.
