But when a sudden discovery upends her fiercely ordered world, Tally sets out on an unexpected quest to seek out the reclusive musician who may hold the key to her pastand instead finds Maddy, an enigmatic and beautiful girl who will unlock the door to her future. The deeper she falls in love with Maddy, the more Tally begins to realize that the universe is biggerand more complicatedthan she ever imagined. Can Tally face the truth about her familyand find her way home in time to save herself from its consequences?

The stunning, unusual About a Girl by Sarah McCarry. Myth, magic, and bicoastal comings of age. Reviewed on my blog!

It took a while to get used to the style in this one but eventually I flowed through it. Perhaps a bit more advanced than your typical ya but recommended!

This book caught me off guard several times with little surprises. I liked the story and characters, and the twisting of the plot. I liked the contrast between Tally's home life in NYC, and the country she got to experience on her journey. And of course crows are always a plus!

Bette Crows sound intriguing. 😃 8y

Library holds came in, and I had a few, so I'm setting aside my current read to dig into this.
Yes those are naked kitty toes in the corner. The rest of him is under the blankie 😊.

Library-Belle So excited to see what you think about this one! 8y
kspenmoll Sounds intriguing. Keep us posted. 8y
Soubhiville @Library-Belle @kspenmoll the language took a bit to get used too, the main character is highly intelligent and a astrology major. So it's a bit of a tougher read than your typical YA. But I'm 90 pages in and really liking it! 8y
Bette Naked kitty toes! 😻😺🐾 8y

I absolutely adored this book.... Finally a book with LGBT relationships in it where it was woven in naturally instead of forced upon the reader... There was even a mix of magic but the underlying themes of home, self identity, and family were never lost. I want to lose myself in this story over and over again.

A fun Friday photo for @Liberty who has seen this - and most of my pictures of Halo interrupting and/or supporting my reading - before! It was hard to pick but I had to go for the book in which I (kind of) (briefly) appear as a character. ♥️
