Year 3, week 16: Strange But True

This week's book:
Strange But True
By John Searles

This week's book was an impulse buy. I saw a trailer for a movie a while back, and when I saw that it was based on a book, I was intrigued.

The story is about a woman in her early twenties who finds herself pregnant, but she has only ever slept with her high school boyfriend who had passed away in a car accident on the night of prom. The story is told from the point of view of the girl, the brother of the deceased boy and his mother, and the landlord's wife of where the girl is staying. The concept of the book was so weird and since I couldn't find out what was happening via the internet, I just had to read it.

Since it's a thriller/mystery, I will not give any more information. I will be honest, I was disappointed with the book as a whole. The author had a cool idea, but couldn't really maintain it through the book. I would say you should read it if you like mysteries or if you like young adult stories, which aren't really my cup of tea.
