Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles
I chose this one because I recognized the author's name. In the grand scheme of things, this was a good choice because it was a fast read.
I'll be honest, I lost track of the number of people whose lives contributed to this book. There were several people who had a story to tell, and some of those people had three chapters to tell their story while others had four. What was neat, however, was how connected each person's story was to other people's stories. We got to hear about the kick who is always bullied, the head cheerleader, the "losers," the gay basketball player, the creative writing teacher, and many more.
Like I said, the interconnectedness is what makes this book great. These people probably have no idea how connected they are to the people around them. There needs to be more books like this out there.
