CHASING WINDMILLS

Author:  Catherine Ryan Hyde
Genre:  YA Fiction, Standalone
Published:  2008
Personal Rating:  3.5/5 (good)
Format:  Audiobook
Yearly Count:  9


A woman who lives with the father of her two children cross paths with a teenager during a time when they are both struggling with their personal relationships at home.

One of my first thoughts while reading this book was "desperate people do desperate things," and that theme somewhat continued throughout the book.  Unfortunately, I felt like the plot wasn't as believable as it should have been, but I did enjoy the characters and the writing.  Even though I didn't buy into it 100%, I will definitely read/listen to another book by Catherine Ryan Hyde.

  2. I think that cover looks creepy!! Was there a creep factor to this at all?
