2009 book 28

Nancy Werlin's Impossible
I wasn't really expecting to like this much after reading it was inspired by Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" (not that it's not an awesome song, just, it sounds like a lame writing exercise or something). But really it's inspired by the ancient ballad, and the story is a modern fairy tale, as a teenaged girl discovers she's trapped in a family curse. I realize none of this sounds like a good read, but it was one. A/A-.
