Hothouse, by Chris Lynch

Pretty awful trauma drama YA. After their fathers, both firemen, die in a work incident, Russell and DJ are treated like heroes arouind town, until it is discovered that their fathers were under the influence at the time. The story could have been well done but the characters were so 2 dimensional, and supporting characters even weaker, with  plot that could have been seen from space...

House of Daughters, by Sarah-Kate Lynch

Really lovely book about three sisters trying to make their family champagne estate survive.

You could taste the bubbles, and oh, the food, and oh, the house! And there was a surprisingly meaty, well-told story behind all the deliciousness of it all.

Good read. I'll be looking for her other books!
