The Museum of Us by Tara Wilson Redd
5.0
I received a copy of this story from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
"You know when you read the back cover of a book and you get so into it, because the idea of the story is so awesome? And even before you've read it, you're super-excited just to get to spend time in that world with those people?"
That's how I felt looking at the cover of this book. I wanted to be in that world for a little while, hear the story of Sadie and George. And it surpassed all I thought I would experience. It's been a very long time since I've read a debut novel this good.
I adored Sadie. I connected with her on a level that doesn't happen often. And Henry was so cute. It's such a beautiful story about accidents and growing up, moving through and beyond trauma, asking for help, and being seen - really seen. It's the kind of book I wish I could've read in high school but I'm happy to have read at all. I cannot say enough lovely things about The Museum of Us!
I would recommend this to anyone who:
- has ever felt invisible
- knows the power and danger of excessive imagination
- is a fan of John Green
- has a pulse
