When Megan Crane(like me, she’s a Southerner now living in California) stepped into the literary light last year with her debut novel, English as a Second Language, Kirkus called it “an engrossing, intelligent read never lacking in drama or humor.” Now she’s back with a second novel, Everyone Else’s Girl, just released on the brand new Warner Books imprint 5 SPOT.

About the book:

Meredith McKay has gone to a lot of trouble to create the picture-perfect life for herself—far away from her troublesome family, thank you. When her father’s car accident forces her back to her hometown, however, she soon discovers that there’s no running away from family issues—there’s only delaying the inevitable. Can anyone sort out a lifetime of drama in one hot summer? Throw in a hot guy from back in high school with an axe to grind, a best friend turned enemy turned soon-to-be-sister-in-law, and, of course, the sometimes irritating/sometimes delightful members of her own family, and Meredith is on her way to figuring out that a trip through the past is the best way to move forward.
