It's a young adult title, and I liked it quite a lot--for a young adult book. It moved quickly, it didn't have too much annoyingly obvious exposition, and the characters and story were interesting.

Book 66: Chains
This was a book club pick, and I actually read it!

Book 35: Fever, 1793
This was a neighborhood book club read. Otherwise, I don't think I would have chosen to read this. I almost never read young adult books.
This one was ok--for a young adult book! But I swear, if I encounter another book about the smart, spunky, slightly awkward and not-that-attractive girl who grows up and turns into a beauty, I . . . won't read it. I have had enough of that formula.
I do love my neighborhood book club, though, so if they choose another YA title about a smart and spunky girl who comes into her own, I suppose I just might end up reading it.
