In case you hadn’t noticed already from my incessant and shameless Tweeting/Tumbling/Facebooking about it, MY BOOK IS FINALLY OFFICIALLY OUT TODAY and I’m pretty happy about it. You can even buy it and everything.

And I just found out it got its third starred review, this time from Booklist, where the reviewer wrote:

[Madison’s] command of language, both informal and beautiful, lifts the work from a basic boy-meets-fantastical creature tale to something both familiar and tragically moving. This isn’t just a supernatural beach read; it’s a rare and lovely novel, deserving of attention from discriminating readers.

It also got a positive— if somewhat more measured— review from my grandmother, who wrote the following in an e-mail to my mom:

Hi Jane,

In case you miss it, you left yout pink (coral) sweater at my house. I will save it for you. Incidentally, I was on Amazon and I found Bennett’s book—I read the sample they had posted, and so far, I disagree with his bloggers. I find it very interesting and extremely well written. I confess I think the overuse of “wicked word” language a little much, but I’m willing to admit that is the way a lot of teenagers talk these days. (But not in front of me, I hope.) Anyway, I want to say that what I have read so far I find compelling and I want to see how it ends. So I’ll buy a copy and proudly have my grandson autograph it for me.

Your ever lovin’ Mom

P.S. I don’t have Bennett’s E-Mail, but you can forward this to him if you wish.

SEE? Even my grandma is buying it so you should too!

Hi, I saw your book workout post and I was wondering if you'd mind telling me what books were used in it? Some of them looked interesting but I couldn't quite read the titles. Thank you!

“The rain is slapping horizontally against the glass door. Skunk is sitting on the floor, putting on dry socks. I put my hand on the door. I know this is supposed to be the part where I go home.

…’Wait,’ says Skunk.

It doesn’t stop raining for forty-eight hours.

So I stay.”

“‘Did you see that guy in the back, from the radio station?’

His smile is a jar full of fireflies.

‘Crazy Girl,’ he says.
‘All I saw was you.’”
