The Girl She Used to Be

Since reading "The Help" several months ago, I have not read a book. I have read blogs, magazines, and the newspaper, but for some reason, I haven't read a book. I love to read. As a child, my friend, V, and I would have contests to see who could read the most books in a night. One night we read until the wee hours of the morning. We each completed 17 chapter books. With our dual competitive nature, we couldn't let the other person win, so we both won. I can still look to V for good book recommendations, even though years go by without us actually seeing one another in person. Perhaps V would do a guest post of good book recommendations.
I happened to pick up a great book off of the New Book Shelf at the library. The book is "The Girl She Used to Be" and it is the first novel written by David Cristofano. He has proven to be an excellent writer. This book was about a young girl who witnessed a murder and was subsequently put in the Witness Protection Program. The story that unfolds is fabulous and intriguing. It's a must read!
