The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson WalkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The slowing - the earth begins to slow down, eventually to more than a week between sunrise and sunset. Julia, an 11-year-old 6th grade student, is increasingly isolated as her best friend moves away, her piano teacher joins the "Real Time" movement, and her parents are drifting apart. It's more about Julia's teen growing pains and family relationships than an apocalyptic event, but also a study of how people react to an uncertain future.
A great book club book - lots to talk about. Could not put it down.
