The Spell Book of Listen Taylor - Jaclyn Moriarty I was expecting YA fantasy but got something closer to chick-lit: a bunch of related women's points of view and thoughts (mostly about relationships). I enjoyed Moriarty's writing, which is often original and funny, but was bothered by other facets of the book, such as the omnipresence of infidelity and the stereotypical depiction of women. Only 11-year-old Listen seemed really sympathetic, all the adult women were self-absorbed and feckless.
