A review by charisegrace
Ashes by Laurie Halse Anderson

3.0

I really liked about a third of this book but the other two thirds had me fuming!

Spoiler

Everyone was horrible to Isabelle! All of them! And she believed all the horrible things that they said to her and decided that she was mean and selfish and self absorbed. Which was a complete lie. She searched for Ruth for months, saved her more than once, looked after her when she was deathly ill, found her somewhere to live and eat, and worried herself half sick thinking about caring for Ruth. And what does Ruth do? have a tantrum, gives Isabelle the silent treatment, slaps Isabelle, and never ever ever says thank you or sorry. Nup. Not happy. Isabelle deserved 10 million times better.
