Find Layla by Meg Elison

5.0

This author wrote this story beautifully. Layla narrates her story the entire time. This book reminds me of how I felt after Room. It's a story I always want to remember. This book needs to be shared with middle schoolers everywhere. It's so important. Share feelings of gratitude for what you have and compassion for those who do not have anything. I LOVED this book. Layla, I want to scoop you up and have you teach me everything you know and I will share with you everything I have.

ネグレクト家庭の少女が、弟を守りながらなんとか生き抜こうとする物語。自分が住んでいるゴミ屋敷の「生態系」の動画を作ったら、有名人になってしまい、人生が変わりはじめる。
ラストが辛く、涙がとまらなかった。
全体に主人公の愛する生物学へのモチーフが散りばめられていて、インターネット時代の寓話的な雰囲気もよかった。

Engaging and easy to read, but not much depth of feeling or character development

This is the first book in a long time that I read in one day. It's very compelling.

Wow

This story packed a punch. I need a few days to compute. I’ll write more when I can. Powerful, gut-wrenching.

For YA readers who liked Robin Roe's "A List of Cages," or Courtney Summers' "Sadie," but want something a little less intense. A quick, well-paced read at only 179 pages.
