The Opposite of Everyone by Joshilyn Jackson
4.0
This is my fifth book by Joshilyn Jackson, and either my favorite so far or tied with Gods in Alabama for favorite. It's definitely the first to make me cry. Jackson does a really nice job narrating her own work, too. I especially enjoyed the way she voiced the character of Candace. I felt like I knew the child.
The story nicely captures how a parent might be both terrible and wonderful, and the tumult and confusion that causes in a child's life.
Also, sometimes when I was listening, my teenage son was in the room. He pretended not to be interested, but then would ask me questions to get himself caught up on the plot, so I knew he was secretly a little invested, and I heard him chuckle quietly at some funny bits. So yeah it's chick lit, but not only.
