Educational, entertaining and very funny! If the history textbooks in school were written by Vicki Leon, I think that we all would have paid a lot more attention in class.
Though this book is about sex and murder in the 1970's it also has a sensitive side. This book is not to be missed. It's on my very exclusive list of books that I actually re-read every few years.
If you liked Alice Sebold's "The Lovely Bones", you will love "The Almost Moon". Sebold has a classy but readable way of writing on the most peculiar subjects! In The Almost Moon the main character murders her mother. It seems so realistic and the main character seems somehow reasonable in her actions.

It's such an interesting book, and written in a highly unusual format. The book reads as short stories, but by the time you get to the end you can see how they are all inter-connected and all of the short stories make sense as a whole.

This book moved the story back and forth so smoothly between 1988 (when the characters were in highschool) to 2003 when they their led diverse lives of grown women.
The three young women shared a very big secret from highschool, and it effects them all in different ways in their lives of young women.
Very edgy, it's entertaining and involved, yet easy to follow.
