Chapter Two Hundred Twenty-Four: Bellweather Rhapsody

I read Bellweather Rhapsody by Kate Racculia for a book club, which hasn't met yet, but I'm excited to talk it over with people, because this book really surprised me!  It started a little slowly and blandly, feeling like your typical snide and semi-detached coming-of-age story, but as I got further into the narrative and got to know the main characters and their past better, I really started caring about them.  Even though there is a small cast of complex characters, Bellweather Rhapsody is also driven by its bizarre plot involving several murders, a high school music festival, and a snowstorm.  This is a book about which I can honestly say that I couldn't predict at all how it was going to end, which is pretty unusual for me, and made me appreciate this strange and wonderful novel all the more.  If you're looking for something good to read, something that will surprise you, I heartily and wholly suggest Bellweather Rhapsody.
