...I wrote about Jacquelyn Mitchard's What We Saw at Night, the first book in Soho's new Teen imprint:
It’s a solid thriller with a cool premise—think Rear Window, but starring a Parkour-practicing heroine who has Xeroderma Pigmentosum, a condition that makes sunlight not just dangerous, but life-threatening—strong dialogue and character development, exciting action, suspenseful plotting, and the requisite smootchies, AS WELL AS being a really believable, effective story about friendship, secrets and lies.
In other recent Kirkus columns, I covered April Lindner's Catherine (Wuthering Heights in NYC) and Adrienne Kress' The Friday Society (Charlie's Angels goes steampunk).
I have been hearing so many good things about this book! And it is getting me pretty excited about Soho's new teen imprint as well. :)

I, too, liked this book, but I keep on getting blindsided by these cliffhanger endings!
