The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold.

It's the type of book I don't usually read, the type of book I wouldn't even pick up because it's 'heavy'. It's the type of book that would make you think, make you.. feel.

There's a reason I read chick-lit: it's light, it's easy to read, and they generally make you feel good. I stick to that stuff because, well, it makes me feel good. Because the world today seriously makes you feel the polar opposite of good.

But it was a gift, and so, out of curiosity, I read it. And to my surprise, I actually am beginning to like it.

It's sweet, in a sad, melancholic way. The main character dies, goes to 'heaven', and from there, she watches her family and those she loves go on with their lives. She witnesses all the drama unfold as her family breaks up, grows up, and eventually, does move on. She does too, in the end.

I should farking get back to that PolSci draft I'm trying to complete.


AND A PLUG BEFORE I LEAVE!
