I haven't read anything by Joyce Maynard but I have read very good things about her books and her writing. Your review makes me very interested in reading this book.

Recently it has been getting a revival on the blogs, and everyone is loving it. It makes me think that I need to read it again. Thanks for the gentle nudge and reminder! Great mini-reviews.

I was constantly recommending it to patrons at the library. I loved MIDDLESEX, but don't think I read it until a couple of years after you. I've heard good things about THE USUAL RULES and I might even have a copy. I think that Les liked that one a lot. It's still on my TBR.<br /><br />I looked back and apparently I spent all of March 2005 reading several YA fantasy books by Tamora Pierce back to back. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-39004234577590374772011-06-02T06:45:09.039-07:002011-06-02T06:45:09.039-07:00I also love Middlesex, though I didn't read it...I also love Middlesex, though I didn't read it until this past year.
