OLDER FICTION
Murdock, Catherine Gilbert

Heaven Is Paved with Oreos

(2) YA Science-nerd Sarah adores her best friend Curtis (the laconic younger brother of Dairy Queen's DJ), but no one at school believes they're just friends. Meanwhile, Sarah visits Italy with her grandmother and learns some uncomfortable family secrets. Both narrative threads are compelling, but they don't entirely mesh. However, Sarah's voice is tart and inquisitive, and her observations make the book come alive.
