jennyc2323 's review for:
Belzhar
by Meg Wolitzer
I'm going to start with the ending. I liked this in the much the same way I found WE WERE LIARS to be such an intriguing read. Maybe because I like stories with unreliable narrators. My heart really went out to Jam as soon as I figured out what was going on. And I could see how such an emotional attachment really could form in a teenage girl.
I always enjoy stories set in the world of boarding schools. I thought the bonds that formed between the students in the class where real and heartfelt. Oddly enough, Belzhar itself was the least interesting part of the book for me. May be because nothing really happened there. It was more just a catalyst for change in the outside world.
It wasn't until after I learned that her relationship with Reeve never really existed that I could really appreciate the connection she'd made with Griffin.
I've added the Ball Jar to my to-be-read list!
