OLDER FICTION
O'Connell, Rebecca

Myrtle of Willendorf

(2) YA Following her first year of college, Myrtle looks back on her high school friendship with Margie. Together, Myrtle and Margie were the "core members of Seneca High's coven." Myrtle's self-deprecating humor about her weight and eating habits is typical YA, but the narrative is without the sharp edge that's increasingly common. The novel is by turns funny and poignant, a fresh twist on the journey of self-discovery.
