What Happened to Hannah by Mary Kay McComas

What Happened to Hannah is one of those novels that you pretty much know from the start what is going to happen, but it is so well written that you don't mind. Hannah Benson has returned to her hometown after 20 years to settle her mother's estate as well as take custody of her niece. Now, Clearfield Virginia is the last place that Hannah wants to be, as it brings back nothing but very dark and disturbing memories. Not only that, but some very dark and disturbing secrets may be uncovered. Throw in the fact that Hannah's high school sweetheart is now the town sheriff, and well, you can just imagine...

The Best of Friends by Susan Mallery

The Best of Friends might make a good beach read, simple and quick. However, I couldn't find one character in this book that I actually liked! This is the story of two friends, Jayne and Rebecca. Jayne is the poor, studious nice girl. Rebecca, of course, is the spoiled, bratty rich girl. With the gorgeous older brother that Jayne has always had a crush on but has never noticed her. With the rich parents that have taken poor Jayne in to be a good influence on Rebecca. You get it, right???? So of course poor Jayne feels used by Rebecca and her family, while at the same time feeling she is not good enough for the brother that has finally noticed her and falls in love with her. If you think you know how it all turns out, you are probably right.
