When someone tells you that you should read a book, but one of it's main characters is a dead runaway, it's hard to be gung-ho about the book before you begin. Please, get gung-ho! THIS MUST BE THE PLACE by Kate Racculia is book that defies category- coming-of-age, romance, comedy, even drama find a home in this novel, and yet none of it feels forced or out of place.
The characters define the story & each one is more fascinating than the next- from the residents of the Darby-Jones boarding house, to the main characters who you'll find yourself cheering for along the way as they discover themselves through each other. What a wonderful, entertaining read.
This book was a perfect read for summer- I only wish I could have been sitting in a lounge chair on a beach while I enjoyed the adventure. Racculia's writing is smart, witty & fun. THIS MUST BE THE PLACE is definitely a place worth spending some time.
