Right Behind You by Gail Giles
Gail Giles' latest is good. Maybe not as compelling as Shattering Glass or Dead Girls Don't Write Letters, but still it is a thought provoking book. When Kip McFarland was 9, he set his 7-year neighbor on fire, using gasoline and a lighter. This is Kip's story as he grows up trying to deal with his heinous act. I don't want to give too much of the story away, but I will give this title a YAY and hope to hear how others feel about it.

I forgot all about this book I read it in ARC form a while back but I remember I really enjoyed it. If I remember correctly, the setting was in Alaska and then moved to the midwest. I thought the character was really well developed and thought it was very thought provoking. Can't remember if there was a surprise ending Giles style, but I give it a maybe.
I'll add this one to the list. Patty, I'm impressed you're still going strong on your reading so close to your due date!!
I liked this. Kip/Wade was believable, honest, raw. I think Sam's big "secret" was a little ordinary to be seen as such a big issue, but overall it was a solid book. Yay
I liked this one also. Yay
Wow, great read. Yay!
this will be fighting for a spot in the top 20 with Hero and Zen... Potential candidate. Writing isn't super wow, but emotions, reactions, topics and characters are solid.
YAY
