That’s how much I adore the Lawson family. It’s only three times, but still it’s a new record for me. ↠ Don’t think I’ve ever read the same book this many times in the span of five months or a year for that matter. Detective Mitch Lawson, Billy, and Billie, each owns a piece of my heart. Otherwise, there’s no stopping me from wanting to smack her upside the head 59.99% of the time. ↠ With Mara I realized, I need to be in the mood to deal with her stick-up-her-ass-ness. ↠ I recommend the audiobook for anyone who wants to read this book! There are two children in this book, and she doesn’t sound like an adult who’s mimicking baby or children voices. ↠ She also assigns different voices for the characters so you can tell who’s speaking what.

I started giving young adult books a second chance a few years ago and there have been quite a few misses but also some definite hits. When I was actually a young adult in the nineties, I found the teen books were terribly written and after-school special preachy, with lessons like “Don’t have unsafe sex” and “Don’t do drugs.” I stayed out of that section of the library once I turned twelve. I have been trying to read more outside my comfort zone and Consider falls into two genres that I don’t read very often - young adult and science fiction.
