A review by jjordankc
The Center of Everything by Laura Moriarty

5.0

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this!!! I listened to the audio version of this book and looked forward to my long drives to and from work. I'm not sure if it's the writing that I loved or the reading performance, but I adore the main character Evelyn and all of the characters came to life - Travis, Tina, Eileen, Deena, Traci, etc. I want to know what happens to Evelyn after this story ends, and I feel like I genuinely care for her and want to see her future and potential unfold. I also enjoyed that the book was set in Kansas and a small portion at KU. I loved the Reagan era themes and the religious journey that Evelyn experiences through this story.
