I'm a biracial 17 year old freshman in college from New York. My favorite books to read are tear jerkers and love stories. If a book can get me to cry it's usually a good book.

    eye contacts description:
    Like The Lovely Bones and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time , Cammie McGovern’s breakout novel is at once a hypnotic thriller and an affecting portrait of people as real as our next-door neighbors. In Eye Contact , two children vanish in the woods behind their elementary school. Hours later, nine-year-old Adam is found alive, the sole witness to his playmate’s murder. But because Adam has autism, he is a silent witness. Only his mother, Cara, can help decode his behavior for the police. As the suspense ratchets, Eye Contact becomes a heart-stopping exploration of the bond between a mother and a very special child.

    I couldn't get rid of any of my books, so I still have them on a shelf. I am out of room and need another shelf. I have books laying around all over now--it's getting out of control.

    I will. I expect to start it next week. My top recommendation is, of course, my book. Kidding (sort of). Anyway, I think it's great when I see young people read the way you do. I don't think most people in your generation read enough. You are obviously an exception. Have a great day.
