so many lovely recommendations. But have read most, so I will be voting for something which I haven't read.:-)

And it is a tug of war between A visit from the goon squad and Girl at war.

Let's have some thrillers for a change. How about The Six Train To Wisconsin by Kourtney Heintz? Just a suggestion.

Of course, Subinita..but someone will have to second your suggestion :-)
