mjessamir 's review for:
Twenty Boy Summer
by Sarah Ockler
What can I say? This book drowned my heart in numbers I couldn't count. It's so full of emotions and depth and honesty that I felt the characters' pain and sorrow throughout. I literally cried with them.
I picked up this book thinking it's not that heavy since it's YA. It sure proved me wrong. I closed the book with a feeling of nostalgia. It's like I personally lost Matt too.
Anyway, I love the California adventure. I love Sam. He's so open-minded and he's a great listener... I love how a shattered family got their pieces together, and though they'll always be broken, at least, the pieces still fit. I love how they all learned to let go and accept reality. Most importantly, I love how they all learned to move on.
Matt was a big loss. Even as a reader, I felt how much of a loss he is. He's such a great person/son/brother/bestfriend/boyfriend. He's so mature and pure in heart. He is giving, kind and passionate. I like how he leaves the pennies on the street just so somebody else can have good luck instead of himself. He's a great soul. I hope he had a longer life just so he could spare this world of one honest and true soul. He's the kind of guy you wanna spend the rest of your life with.
I love how Anna and Frankie settled their misunderstandings by the end of the book. I love how it ended with Anna receiving a final gift from Matt through a necklace. It's a great way to end. I just wish I had a clue of what could have been Sam and Anna's future. I really like them together.
All in all, it was a great, heart-whelming read.
