Cicada Summer

Author: Andrea Beaty
Bugs: 2
Review by: KM

Though this book received good reviews, I had to force my way to the end. Since it was a small book, I decided to do so, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. A 12 year old girl goes silent for two years after her brother's death until she gets involved with a new girl in the small town she lives in. She doesn't like this girl who also has lost a mother, but eventually they come together by dramatic circumstances. Overall, an interesting story, but I didn't like the first person narrative for it for some reason.
