This Train Is Being Held
by Ismée Williams
Not sure if it’s because I haven’t read a YA in ages but I loved this book SO MUCH. I listened to it and it made my reading experience 1000% better, the audiobook is narrated by Gary Tiedemann who voices Alex, and Frankie Corzo who voices Isa, and the fact that two different people read it adds a lot of dynamic to an already amazing book.
The main reason why I enjoyed this book so much may have been the easiness that I had in falling in love with Isa and Alex, not only individually as a character, but also with their relationship, and I will undoubtedly miss them meaning that I’ll probably reread this one someday.
Something that actually surprised me was the fact that the story takes place for three years, I came across this book while randomly browsing through GoodReads and only read the first sentences of the synopsis and got immediately interested, which means I never stumbled upon this huge detail, and because I read the audiobook I realized that a long period of time passed but never perceived that three years had actually gone by.
The thing that blew me away when I finished this was how well it was written, the way Ismée Williams talks about extremely current issues such as racism, classism, police brutality, etc,while marveling us with an amazing young love story is unbelievable.
As you may have realised by now this book is my new obsession and I feel like mentioning it about 500 times a day and recommending it to everyone so basically just read this book!
