elianamargalit 's review for:
North of Beautiful
by Justina Chen
Honestly, I expected to hate this book. I thought it would be one of those shallow books where a girl has a few problems but it all gets better as soon as she meets a boy.
Although Terra does have problems and she does meet a boy, this book went above and beyond all my expectations. I love how it focuses on family relationships instead of just romantic relationships and I love seeing the redemption Terra's mom goes through in the book. I also love the motif of maps in the book, because motifs are a device that are usually ignored by young adult authors, so it was great to see an author who was unafraid to use them.
