Belong to Me by Marisa de los Santos
4.0

From the first few chapters, I was convinced this was going to be yet another "chick-lit" book and I almost put it down. However, I'm glad I stuck with it. The narrator is smart and witty, and Santos has many poignant lines that actually spoke to exactly how I feel sometimes--and has her characters experience and name things that happen to them that happen to all of us, yet we don't either take the time or know how to name them. This was another stay-up-til-2-a.m. to read book. I didn't know this was a sequel to her first book (I just found this out now, after finishing)--so now I'm going to go back and find that one.
