What I'm Reading

In writing YA, I am always contemplating the things that cause rifts between teens, but in the book, A Most Uncommon Degree of Popularity, Kathleen Gilles Seidel explores what happens when the teens' parents are also close, inseparable friends. When one daughter is on the outs with the other girls in the group, how does one mom's friendships suffer, too? I thought the story idea was a brilliant one. Plus the book is set against the tony backdrop of one of Washington DC's most affluent neighborhoods, which is a setting I am absolutely obsessed with. I love getting glimpses into how the other half lives!
