Fabulous Things - Hardcover
Beautiful and brilliant, Josie and Jack Raeburn are closer than they should be and have more freedom than is good for them. However, as their father becomes more unpredictable they are forced to leave his isolated house, and face a world for which they are utterly unprepared. Jack's love for Josie has always been her safety-net. However, as he grows wilder and more dangerous, she finds herself struggling: should she escape his control, or help him? It is only when they become involved with Lily, a rich and beautiful heiress, that she understands what she must do.

About the Author:
Kelly Braffet's first novel, Josie and Jack, was published in 2005. It was praised as “wicked fun . . . a gothic tour of hell” (Los Angeles Times) and “a compelling study of love, hate, and psychopathic jealousy” (New York Post). Braffet was born in Long Beach, California, in 1976, and has lived in Arizona, rural Pennsylvania and Oxford, England. She is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and Columbia University, and has taught novel writing at the Sackett Street Writing Workshop. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her husband, the writer Owen King.
From AudioFile:
When teenaged siblings Jack and Josie Raeburn escape their warped childhood home, they employ their good looks and intelligence in twisted ways to survive. Reader Edwina Wren's youthful voice is well suited for young Josie's perspective on her distorted relationship with her unstable brother. Somehow Josie's outlook on Jack's exploits makes sense because of their strange upbringing. Wren's straight read of Josie and Jack allows the strong plot and superb dialogue to shine. Some of the character voices seem forced, but this shortcoming does not detract from the story because of Wren's sensitive yet intense portrayal of Josie. Wren delivers the surprising ending with graceful understatement. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
