The Scandalous Summer of Sissy LeBlanc by Loraine Despres

Really good book. Definitely not what I thought it would be (which was a light and fluffy classic chick lit- southern style) and although it was southern through and through and started off as a slightly edgy story turned dark about the second third of the way in and I was hooked. Some of it was a little strange, like I thought hmmm I wouldn't act that way if that happened, but with all stories there has to be a slight suspension of disbelief (even in the straight up non-surreal fiction) and I was riveted and happy with the ending even though I didn't see it coming. I enjoyed it and was sad to think the author didn't go on to write a bunch of books. so boo on that.
