Chris Cleave's Little Bee
At first I didn't want to read this book based solely on its cover, which cries out "uplifting YA!!!" (the novel is neither). But it's gotten some good reviews so I went for it anyway. It's about two women who meet under terrible circumstances (revealed about halfway through)--and then meet again two years later under more bad circumstances. My problem with the story was that I just couldn't suspend enough disbelief to make it work at all--it was all just a little overwrought and unbelievable. Especially the end. B/B-.
