2020 book 101

Jaclyn Moriarty’s Feeling Sorry for Celia
I got into one of those reading ruts where I started four different books and couldn’t get into any of them, and the only cure for that mental block is Jaclyn Moriarty, whose books are always a hundred percent awesome. This one is the first of her Ashbury/Brookfield books, about a cast of characters brought together by a pen-pal program. I love epistolary novels and this one is supremely funny and real, focusing on friendship and relationships with parents and wild friends and secrets and training for a half marathon. This makes me happy every time I read it.
