This is inserted subtly, and once again (sigh) the jacket barely seems to indicate it. ![]() I was pleased to see that Close to Famous also features a main character who is half African American and whose mother is African American. In my experience, this author's books are always feel-good reads, without being overly sentimental. Now I've just finished her latest, Close to Famous, and while I wasn't quite as fond of it as I have been of some of her other titles, it nevertheless boasts Bauer's trademark strengths, including an appealing main character, colorful-yet-real secondary characters, and a small-town feeling of people pulling together to help each other. ![]() I especially liked Squash and Rules of the Road, but I've been pretty darn happy with all of her books. You know how some authors are so reliably good that you simply buy their next book on auto-pilot, sight unseen? Joan Bauer is on that list for me. ![]()
