Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niggenegger

★★★

"Listen, sometimes when you finally find out, you realize that you were much better off not knowing."

The Last Days of Dogtown by Anita Diamant

★★★

"One night, alone in her Dogtown bed, Judy finally admitted to herself that she had been in love with Cornelius.  'In love' precisely as it was described in the novels and poems she had read with Martha; love as a kind of sweet madness that colored everything."
