Before We Were Blue
by E.J. Schwartz
Sometimes, a first-time author comes along and gives us a book that’s difficult to put down. Before We Were Blue is such a book.
Meet Shoshana and Rowan, two girls at Recovery and Relief for eating disorders. As gray girls, they have a lot of restrictions. But they’ve been battling eating disorders for a long time. So getting to move up to blue isn’t an easy task. But they have each other for friendship and support, and they don’t need the nurses or the other girls. So they’ve created a bubble for themselves and are completely happy in their own little world.
Yes, Rowan is tough to cheer for, but she’s been through a lot, which shows in everything she does. You don’t have to love her to like the book, and I think her struggles and perseverance, in addition to the walls she’s erected, make me like her even more. Schwartz has written rich, 3-dimensional characters who have dealt with some genuine issues. Before We Were Blue is a thoughtful, emotional, and powerful read; nicely done. Thank you, TBR Tours and North Star Editions, for sending this along!
