Picked up at the Book Thing in Baltimore, Maryland. Registered in Centreville, Virginia, USA.

I don't generally go for tragic coming-of-age tales. I picked this one up because it was loved by several of my fellow BookCrossers. It is the story of Delores Price and her issues with food, sex, love, and mental health. I related in ways that made me uncomfortable, yet following Delores as she coped was heartening. It was also a surprisingly funny book, considering all the drama. I was completely and unexpectedly sucked in, couldn't put it down. Definitely recommended.

Once again, BCinDC will have a table of free books at the Gaithersburg Book Festival. This book will be among them.
