I love the way the author writes. It sounds just exactly like a girl would speak. Thanks for posting the synopsis too. I don't read many YA books, but this sounds like one I'd enjoy.
My teaser is here (Sandy's Teaser) along with a relevant movie trailer.

Oh that sounds like a great read. Very nice.

They say when trouble comes close ranks, and so the white people did. But we were not in their ranks. The Jamaican ladies had never approved of my mother, 'because she pretty like pretty self' Christophine said.

"After Angevine selects a shirt and tie it's Malvia's turn at the big suitcase and she removes an ankle holster and a slim compact black .380 cal. Walther PPK. She scoots up her right slack's leg and affixes the holstera couple inches above her ankle. She stands, lets the trouser leg settle back down and looks at herself in the mirror. The slacks are short the way she likes them, but it means she's going to have to make sure and not cross her leg over her left in public."

"Top three hottest chicks in our year?" Darren asks him, between drags.
"First to last?" Abigail Taylor, Robyn O Loughlin. Nikki Marini."
"Marini stinks."
"Tits though."
Darren swigs from his hip flask.
"Not as good as your Mum's."

Not present, but mentioned at the talk was author Chuck Wendig. His latest book is Blackbirds.

"Froth bubbles out over Del's ashen lips. The blood vessels in his eyes burst.

"Just like she remembers it."

Blackbirds is available from Amazon.

Huh, interesting that you chose a passage in which there was low action and actual boredom. What led you to that choice?

This sounds like a deeply moving, important book. I looked it up on Amazon, and it's available for Kindle (my preferred method of reading these days).
My teaser this week is from Table for Five by Susan Wiggs.
