Mason pulls out the win!


An underdog story takes the win.   Many members of the team found Mason a captivating character with charm to spare.  Others commented on his resilience and the eclectic mix of characters that were developed throughout the story.  There were some votes for Good Enough as the theme of being not "good enough" was something that many readers could identify with.  However, there were questions about the character development and whether the topic of eating disorders would appeal to only a select group of readers.  So... drum roll please.... our group (Kym, Cathy, Andrea, Amanda, Shelley, Gail, Linda, Colin and Maureen) although divided in our pick, chose Mason Buttle as the winner of this battle.
