Blood and Chocolate by Annette Curtis Klause
5.0
This was my favorite book during my middle school and high school years. Kind of embarrassing, I guess, when I know others' favorites at that age were high-and-mighty classics, but I guess there's no sense in being ashamed of what keeps (or kept) us going when we needed it most.
You probably won't get out of this book what I did, and that's okay. I'm sure you've got your own favorite, its cover weathered, its pages soft from turning. You know, that book that makes you smile every time you see it on its shelf. The one that reminds you who you are, or who you were. Both are important.
This book spoke to me about issues of loss, confused identity, the inability to fit in no matter how hard and desperately you try, and the struggle of a young artist. And obviously, it meant a lot.
