Heart in a Box
This latest YA gem from Catherine Stine was entertaining and, at times, touching. I was intrigued by the mystery about the main character's family, and I thought her romance with her boyfriend was sweet, and a little spicey, too. I liked reading about a young woman who had a physical reaction to a boy in a way that was natural and empowering. New York City and its unbelievable diversity was also one of the stars of this novel. This is a great book for teens.
