Books are like food. They can leave a bad taste in your mouth or give you a sick feeling in the pit of your stomach... or they can be exactly what you were looking for and taste so good going down you don't ever want to stop eating.
I just finished a novel that will stick to my ribs for a long time. It is called The Day the Falls Stood Still by Cathy Marie Buchanan. It's a step away from my comfort zone, which has been YA fantasy or the classics like Jany Eyre... I don't read much adult literature, because it doesn't satisfy me like other genres do.
Oh... but this book... is good enough to eat a second time.
I'm only going to say it's a historical novel set in the early 1900's on Canada's side of the Niagra Falls. It has a love story that puts the best love stories to shame. Tom and Bess are right up there with Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester... even Edward and Bella... It's what a love story should be... I am not going to say anything more, you just have to read it for yourself.
