Chapter One Hundred Eighteen: Always Emily

I got this book by Michaela MacColl for free at school (the perks of being a grad student), and I ended up enjoying it more than I expected to.  This is an interesting mix of genres, blending mystery with historic fiction and literary fiction with many typical YA elements: teenaged Charlotte and Emily Bronte are the main characters in this novel, and they must attempt to figure out some (totally fictional) mysteries that are, in fact, based on their more famous books (somewhat loosely, I think, never having read them--whoops).  The quotes from the Bronte sisters' books that begin each chapter are a nice touch.  The ending is mostly satisfying, although I think MacColl simplifies the romantic element a bit too much, and overall I enjoyed this quick read.  If you like any of the genres this book includes, you'll probably enjoy reading it.
