Waiting on Wednesday #5

Say the Word by Jeannine Garsee

The world expects perfection from seventeen-year-old Shawna Gallagher, and for the most part, that’s what they get. She dates the right boys, gets good grades, and follows her father’s every rule. But when her estranged lesbian mother dies, it’s more than perfect Shawna can take. Suddenly, anger from being abandoned ten years ago is resurfacing along with Shawna’s embarrassment over her mother’s other family. As she confronts family secrets and questions from the past, Shawna realizes there’s a difference between doing the perfect thing and doing the right thing.

Amazon.com recommends the book to fans of Sarah Dessen and Laurie Halse Anderson, making it an obvious read. Say the Word is in stores March 17th.
