Beginning:
There was an ocean in her bedroom.Friday 56:
"After all the crap I deal with out there, I have to come home to this mess?" her father said.This week I am reading The Inconceivable Life of Quinn by Marianna Baer. Here is the description from Amazon:
"You're welcome to do any sort of cleaning you want," Katherine said. "It's not like I've spent the morning sitting around doing nothing."
Quinn Cutler is sixteen and the daughter of a high-profile Brooklyn politician. She’s also pregnant, a crisis made infinitely more shocking by the fact that she has no memory of ever having sex. Before Quinn can solve this deeply troubling mystery, her story becomes public. Rumors spread, jeopardizing her reputation, her relationship with a boyfriend she adores, and her father’s campaign for Congress. Religious fanatics gather at the Cutlers’ home, believing Quinn is a virgin, pregnant with the next messiah. Quinn’s desperate search for answers uncovers lies and family secrets—strange, possibly supernatural ones. Might she, in fact, be a virgin?
Well, between the opening, the excerpt, and the blurb, I'm very curious about this book. I'd like to read it!

ReplyDeleteWoah, that's a lot of stuff to absorb in that synopsis. I'm baffled by the direction of the plot. I quite fancy that cover though. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun to me. :)
ReplyDeleteAn ocean in your bedroom? Wonder what that would look like?
Have a great weekend.
