When Foster Dade arrives at Kennedy, an elite boarding school in New Jersey, the year is 2008. Barack Obama begins his first term as president; Vampire Weekend and Passion Pit bump from the newly debuted iPhone; teenagers share confidences and rumors over BlackBerry Messenger and iChat; and the internet as we know it is slowly emerging from its cocoon. So, too, is Foster emerging—a transfer student and anxious young man, Foster is stumbling through adolescence in the wake of his parents’ scandalous divorce.

Early John Green meets Donna Tart as told by Nick Carraway
Revisado: 05-27-23
As a young millennial who currently teaches at a boarding school, I was primed to like this book if only for the cultural touchstones that exist for me on several levels. The iTunes playlists, slang, fashion, and early internet jokes were nostalgic in all the right ways. And while the drug use got a little redundant (think: The Goldfinch) and the sex scenes were a little graphic, the story was compelling (if sometimes digressive) and did manage kept me listening all the way through. Some of the prose is a little overwrought (in a Perks of Being a Wallflower or Bel Canto kind of way), but still had many moments of beauty. Will Damron is wonderful, (dispite a few conspicuous mispronunciations) and handled the Facebook message/blog post reading portions of the text well. Overall, it's a good early summer or late fall pre-bedtime listen. Devour this while deep cleaning your house all day and and get swept away into the hills of Kennedy School.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

The Only Thing Worse Than the Accent
Revisado: 07-08-22
is the story itself. Getting past the idea that a six-year-old would be abandoned by her entire family (and somehow survive) is nearly impossible. The writing is bad and cliched. As a southerner I’m insulted.
