Happy New Year everyone! Now is the perfect time to create a new you for the New Year, whether it’s renewing that old gym membership, revamping your hair style to something particularly 2014ish, or catching up on all the great books of 2013 you somehow missed, definitely keeping in mind Kimberly McCreight’s Reconstructing Amelia. If you haven’t yet devoured this suspenseful tale of a single mother piecing together the last few days of her daughter’s life after her apparent suicide, make sure to put it on your to-read list. Entertainment Weekly named Reconstructing Amelia the Best Book of the Year, and Huff/Post 50 Senior Editor Shelley Emling has also named it one of her favorite books of 2013, saying “If you've ever been baffled by the mysterious world of teenagers, read this book. It will open your eyes.” AND it was Number 9 in CNN’s readers’ favorite books of 2013. Quite a list, eh? So while you’re waiting in the salon or peddling away at the gym, bring along one of the best books of the year, now available in paperback.
