Possess by Gretchen McNeil

Guess what? Gretchen and I (we’re on a first name basis) both have the same favourite Curious George book. Curious George Goes to the Hospital. This isn’t important to the story or this review at all. I just really love that book and was overjoyed to see it mentioned in Possess. Fifteen-year-old Bridget Liu just…
