This one was intriguing. A girl and boy find healing from grief through getting to know one another. An interesting look at hoodoo and Native American culture.
Me (Moth) by Amber McBride, Paperback
Such a good read! A young woman makes a deal to get out of an arranged marriage; the catch is that nobody remembers her once she's out of their line of sight. During her seemingly immortal life, she finds clever ways to survive. Very interesting concept.
