so-soAnother tough book to rate. This one definitely suffered from not being what the blurb promised. The blurb says this is about a girl going on a road trip to Alaska with her brother, but the trip to Alaska doesn't start until page 247! The rest of the book is about 17-year-old Donna who spends a lot of her life whining, and lives in a small town populated entirely by terrible people - this was definitely a "The 1950s ACTUALLY sucked" book, which⬇️
Making progress on books for #JoysofJune and thanks to an awesome reading day Sunday, I have a bit of a buffer for my 300pg/day goal and am still about 150pgs ahead of schedule.
Hoping to finish the tagged book soon. It hasn't been a bad read, but I haven't really connected with the MC so it feels like I've been reading it forever!

Later MayJune would say that the biggest turns in life come when you‘re paying the least attention, making small choices you don‘t know yet will change everything.

pickIt was ok. Slow start but got better in second half. Some underdeveloped storylines but not too distracting. Young girl in 1950s stuck with the adult responsibility of caring for her brother, maintaining a home and trying to finish school. When her brother becomes ill they take off on a trip of a lifetime to see his one square inch of Alaska he won in a contest. A book about following your dreams no matter how big and scary they may be.🐺🐺🐺
pick17 year old Donna has been saving up to leave her small town behind but when her younger brother gets sick she sets off with him in pursuit of his dream rather than her own. This book is about everything that brings her to that decision- the people she meets, the truths she learns, and all the ways she has had to grow up. Set in the 1950‘s this was a sweet book that I enjoyed reading but didn‘t find especially powerful. Still a pick. #24in48
A 17 year old girl takes off with her younger brother to help him achieve his dreams of Alaska in this book that is still in my towering TBR. #ashapeinthetitle #junebookbugs
so-soAn author from my country for #angiebookishnovember. I read this because it fit the #roadtrip category of my #2016readingchallenge but I did not love it.
