“Sometimes books don’t live up to their hype. That can be especially true when the people doing the hyping are close to the story or close to the author. I had heard a lot this spring and summer about Suzanne Young’s new book. I read positive things from author Hannah Moscowitz and blogger Sara Gundell ofNovel Novice, both of whom are friends with Suzanne. So while I wanted to be...
