pickOrbiting Jupiter, by Gary D. Schmidt (2015)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A rural family takes in a teenager prematurely matured by a series of tragic events.
Review: I can‘t say enough about this wonderful (older middle grade) book about the grace of second chances. ⬇️
so-soUghhhh. This had so much potential. Talitha Velkwood still reeling from a tragic event 20 yrs ago gets an offer to go back to her haunted street she left. That piece of haunted street that exists in its own reality separate from our own. One only Talitha and 2 other girls can enter. It could have used more characterization, I‘m not a fan of going back and forth between places where nothing really happens or gets moved forward. I did like her 👇🏼
so-soThis was a cute story of unexpected romance between two misfits.
My reading corner has a beautiful addition ❤️ thank you @dabbe for thinking of me. What a beautiful and thoughtful gift for my birthday 🥰 Litsy has brought me such a wonderful community of readers and friends, I‘m grateful every day
pickWhy wasn't I warned that I would need book 2 right next to me the moment I finished book 1??
A YA romance between the school's star rugby player and the new girl who is bullied and abused.
pickSarah Dessen has a formula: lost, vulnerable female narrators learning how to love and be loved. The formula works so well on me. When Ruby‘s mom disappears, she finds herself living with the sister she thought had abandoned her. As she tries to settle into private school, new friendships, and an idyllic life with her sister and brother-in-law, she can‘t help but feel out of place and as if her new life is only temporary. (1/2)
