I write middle-grade, YA, and am also an illustrator with my eyes set on some picture books in the future of my career. My middle-grade novel, The City Beneath the Stones, is a available as an e-book on Amazon.com. My YA novel, Juggernaut - a modern retelling of a teen growing up in pre-WWII Nazi Germany - is finally complete, and on submission (fingers crossed!)

A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews

Really, 3.5 stars. I quite liked the style of writing and the characters all have their own distinct personalities, and I loved the humour, but I kept waiting for something more to happen, especially at the end.
