A Grown Up Kind Of Pretty by Joshilyn Jackson

I am in a book club and for the month of November we chose to read A Grown Up Kind of Pretty by Joshilyn Jackson. This book is about a young girl named Mosey who is raised by her mother and her grandmother. We find out right away that Mosey's mother has recently had a stroke and she cannot communicate well at all. At the beginning of the book, Mosey's grandmother decides she wants to build a pool in the backyard to help with Mosey's mother with therapy. When they dig up a tree in the backyard, bones are unearthed. It is soon after that that Mosey must go on a search to find out if her mother is really her mother, and if not, who is?

I really enjoyed A Grown Up Kind of Pretty. I love books that have some mystery in them and this one sure did! I also liked the way Joshilyn Jackson wrote her book - each chapter is from the viewpoint of a different character. I think a lot of authors are doing this lately, but Joshilyn Jackson does it quite well. She also jumps back and forth between past and present while the reader is trying to piece together the mystery. An excellent read and I would recommend it to anyone!
