THIS RECENT AUDIO BOOK I RECEIVED
*******************************************
READ BY COLBY MINIFIE
BY MOIRA FOWLEY-DOYLE
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
For fans of We Were Liars and How I Live Now comes an addictive, sexy, twisty YA novel you won’t want to miss.
Every October Cara and her family become inexplicably and unavoidably accident-prone. Some years it’s bad, like the season when her father died, and some years it’s just a lot of cuts and scrapes. This accident season–when Cara, her ex-stepbrother, Sam, and her best friend, Bea, are 17–is going to be a bad one. But not for the reasons they think.
Cara is about to learn that not all the scars left by the accident season are physical: There’s a long-hidden family secret underneath the bumps and bruises. This is the year Cara will finally fall desperately in love, when she’ll start discovering the painful truth about the adults in her life, and when she’ll uncover the dark origins of the accident season–whether she’s ready or not.

MY THOUGHTS:
Thanks to Richard and the wonderful people at Penguin Random House Publishing, I now have this exciting audio book in my hands. Something in the preview of this book just caught my attention and even though it is classified as YA, I still wanted to read it. I have, in my old age, found that YA is not what it used to be and certainly is full of books that all ages YA and up can enjoy. I am eager to find out how these people handle this "Accident Season". Are YOU? Check it out at your local library or book store.

Yes, some of the YA books are outstanding. One of my favorite YA authors has only written two books! She has super reviews so I don't know why there isn't a third. But her books are great.
I agree on your YA comments. I started reading to keep up with my kids and have kept reading because they are so many good ones, I don't want to miss out!
