This last book, "Light From a Distant Star", by Mary McGarry Morris took me a bit longer to get through than others. It isn't that I didn't like it, because I liked it just fine, but I was kind of bored by the story.
Nellie, the main character, is a 13-year-old girl who witnesses something, but doesn't quite realize exactly the depth of what she has seen, and in telling her parents she hopes to get to the bottom of it, but no one will listen to her or believe her.
There are characters in the story that to me have no relevance to story at all, like Bucky and Jessica, who just have more problems then Nellie, and maybe are there to show us that.
All in all, I probably would not recommend this book.
