Book: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Age-range: 13 and up
Recommended: Yes
I'm not big on werewolf books, but this was an exception. It's not so much about werewolves, in my mind, as it is a great story of a first love. Ms. Steifvater does an amazing job of remaining true to the emotions a teenager feels as they fall in love for the first time. There are a lot of great moments and good descriptions. I got really swept up in the emotions.
The story is written from two perspectives: Sam's and Grace's. I prefer Sam's voice over Grace's, but mostly because I think Grace is boring and a little dumb. But that might just be me. I couldn't really relate to her at all, but I found a lot of common ground with Sam. Anyway, it was a good book, whether you like werewolves or not.
