Even our tie-breaker poll was a tie, but I received a message from someone who didn't get their vote in before the poll closed so I used that vote to break the tie. As a result, our May group read shall be by Jessi Kirby! Discuss away!
Oh, and be sure to stop by and nominate a read for June. The thread is already posted!
Synopsis for Moonglass : Anna's life is upended when her father accepts a job transfer the summer before her junior year. It's bad enough that she has to leave her friends and her life behind, but her dad is moving them to the beach where her parents first met and fell in love--a place awash in memories that Anna would just as soon leave under the surface.
While life on the beach is pretty great, with ocean views and one adorable lifeguard in particular, there are also family secrets that were buried along the shore years ago. And the ebb and flow of the ocean's tide means that nothing--not the sea glass that she collects on the sand and not the truths behind Anna's mother's death--stays buried forever.
Welcome Justine! I'll post a spoilers thread so you (and others, when they finish) can post overall impressions and comments on the book if you wish. :)
