Well I finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and The Lost Symbol but didn't get to Shanghai Girls before I was tempted back to YA. I picked up After by Amy Efaw as they finished processing it and haven't been able to put it down. It's the story of a 15 year old girl who is accused of putting her newborn baby into the trash behind her apartment. Amy Efaw says she researched the juvenile facility where the story takes place and writes a very realistic interpretation of what we often hear in the news- stories of abandoned babies. A tough but good read.
