Rose Howard has OCD, Asperger's syndrome, and an obsession with homonyms (even her name is a homonym). She gave her dog Rain a name with two homonyms (Reign, Rein), which, according to Rose's rules of homonyms, is very special. Rain was a lost dog Rose's father brought home. Rose and Rain are practically inseparable. And they are often home alone, as Rose's father spends most evenings at a bar, and doesn't have much patience for his special-needs daughter.

Read Mark Haddon's "The Curious Incident of the Dog at Nighttime" instead. Much richer and more complex. Rain Reign has an idealized take on Asperger's. Please, for real, show me a kid with HFA who gets their homework done and fixes dinner every afternoon unsupervised plus can think on their feet enough to pack up all of their belongings upon inferring that they were being abandoned.

It didn't take a week for 27-year-old Sal Casillas to wonder what she'd seen in the international soccer icon - why she'd ever had his posters on her wall or ever envisioned marrying him and having super-playing soccer babies.

Just a coach-crash fantasy.
Revisado: 03-28-16
A slow-moving, mediocre frame for a few erotic scenes at the end. Predictable and sexist.

On the last night of 1937, 25-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society - where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve.

Gatsby, but better.
Revisado: 11-09-15
A terrific story of a young woman's eventful year as she strikes out on her own in the jazzy, gritty whirl of New York in the late thirties. Katie Content gives us the regular-girl narrator's perspective on the beautiful people crowd she falls into and the baffling characters that people her new New York, itself practically a character. Towles gives poetic voice to this sharp, sensitive, grounded young lady, and the narrator gives life and tone. A beautiful, heartbreaking, uplifting tale of youthful ambition and romance, and a love song to a New York that was.

Getting a life isn't always easy. And hanging on to it is even harder.... Jodi Taylor brings all her comic writing skills to this heartwarming tale of self-discovery. Known as The Nothing Girl because of her severe stutter and chronically low self-confidence, Jenny Dove is only just prevented from ending it all by the sudden appearance of Thomas, a mystical golden horse only she can see. Under his guidance Jenny unexpectedly acquires a husband - the charming and chaotic Russell Checkland.

A little A little Austen, a little Agatha Christie, a little Bronte, with a touch of magic.
Revisado: 10-02-15
I found a new author to follow here. Great narration, too!
A modern romance, coming-of-age story, mystery, and dysfunctional family drama, this tale draws on wry language, a clever plot, and beautifully developed characters and relationships to create a fun read, but also an interesting probe of verbal abuse, sources of strength, the power of love. Don't let the magic horse bit over influence your choice.
