A Reading from Please Ignore Vera Dietz by A.S. King | #WednesdayYA [1.4]

It's Wednesday, friends, and that means it's time to share some of this month's book club read, Please Ignore Vera Dietz!
Because A.S. King has a tendency to grab me, right from the very first page, I thought I'd record a little reading for you guys. Check it out, let me know what you think in the comments, and if you want to be part of #WednesdayYA, join us this month in reading Please Ignore Vera Dietz!



ABOUT THE BOOK:

PLEASE IGNORE VERA DIETZ by A. S. King!
Contemporary/Magical Realism, 336 pages
Published October 12th 2010 by Alfred A. Knopf BYR
Vera’s spent her whole life secretly in love with her best friend, Charlie Kahn. And over the years she’s kept a lot of his secrets. Even after he betrayed her. Even after he ruined everything.

So when Charlie dies in dark circumstances, Vera knows a lot more than anyone—the kids at school, his family, even the police. But will she emerge to clear his name? Does she even want to?

Edgy and gripping, Please Ignore Vera Dietz is an unforgettable novel: smart, funny, dramatic, and always surprising.

  1. Color me intrigued! I've never heard of A.S. King, but this book sounds very interesting. Very different from what I normally read, but that's what I'm looking for at the moment. Thanks for this, Misty; I'll have to check it out.
