Hourglass

Ok. I didn't think I'd like this book. I sort of forced myself to start it for lack of anything else to read. Boy howdy was I wrong. So wrong that this is my very first review on goodreads. I feel compelled to share my reader's high!

I loved this book. Devoured it in less than 24 hours, in spite of laundry and dishes and 3 kids. It sucked me in. I love Emerson, not only because I desperately wanted to name one of my girls that, but because she's feisty and funny and vulnerable and scared and angry. And short :)

It had romance, mystery, intrigue, decent depth for a YA novel, and a couple nice plot twists to keep me on edge. A winner in my book.
