Well, hit me with a stick and call me a pinata! Any book that advertises itself as anything like Serial is bound to be good, so I had my hopes high for this one and I was not let down in the slightest. 
 Are You Sleeping is a roller-coaster ride of emotions, all centered around the tragic life of Josie Burhman. From murder to betrayal to heartbreak, AYS covered it all. And while the novel is presented as a mystery, I found it more of a story of reconciliation and forgiveness. I throughly enjoyed watching Lanie and Josie grow as characters and become more mature adults. Their story--though dramatic--is a testimony to others on how to move on and forgive. 
 I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys suspense and mystery, as well as some good coming-of-age bits here and there.
