This week we try out a new more book clubish structure as we read the book by Grady Hendrix.

Editorial notes:

GHB is a growth hormone that if used a certain way can be a date rape drug.

Vestry is a location at a church or a meeting of parishioners.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is about puberty and faith. Forever... is about romance and sexuality.

We rate and review: If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy, The Pumpkin Spice Cafe by Laurie Gilmore, and So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison.
