so-soI had heard many great things about this book before deciding to read it, but it honestly didn't live up to my expectations. I felt that many of the events in the book happened too fast and felt forced, like the plot twist in the end when we find out Madeline doesn't have SCID. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy the book, but it definitely wasn't what I was expecting.
pickI absolutely loved this book. Another great work by J.K. Rowling! Reading it in a screenplay format really allowed the reader to delve into the characters' personalities and relationships. And yes, I saw the movie first (😱 I know, I know), but reading the stage directions after seeing them played out on screen was very interesting. Overall, a great read!
so-soI recently finished reading this book for school. It's not the type of book I'd typically read, which may be why it wasn't my favorite. I thought the character development and description for every character, especially Ree, was great, and the book in general was good, but it ended with several loose ends and it's just not something I think I would've read personally had it not been assigned for school.
"YOU ARE WANTED. Big, small, tall, short, pretty, plain, friendly, shy. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, not even yourself.
Especially not yourself."
pickI love this book so much! Jennifer Niven's writing style and eloquence made it so I couldn't put the book down. The characters are creatively portrayed and their stories are inspirational. A must-read!
