The Country of Ice Cream Star by Sandra Newman
3.0
I gave up about half-way through. :(
I was fine with the language. I was fine with the post-apocalyptic setting.
But the author lost me at the pseudo-catholic repetition of the Marias and their white Jesuses. My WSOD failed at the thought of a culture of people younger than about 20 maintaining that sort of belief system. It just didn't make any sense to me. And within that societal framework, I honestly didn't care what else happened, because I'd lost my belief in the basis of the book.
So for me, it was half of a good book. Maybe some day I'll try it again.
