** 2 stars
This was a choice for book club; I don't believe we understood it was a YA title when we chose it. It was an okay read; I felt the characters were a little superficial but the depiction of young love was quite charming.

Diary of a Mad Diva by Joan Rivers
**** 4 stars
Listened to this on a long drive. Not much to say about Joan that hasn't already been said, so it was no surprise that this book gross, outrageous, politically incorrect (to say the least) and pretty darn funny. Some of the jokes got recycled throughout a little bit and some references were dated but it was a good diversion and I enjoyed it.

A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman

This was a gentle and charming read about a curmudgeonly old fellow. I had high hopes for it and it didn't quite live up to it for me but it was enjoyable enough. Felt a little long perhaps and I found my attention wandering sometimes. But I'm glad I read it.
