A review by booksanddachshunds
The Library of Lost Things by Laura Taylor Namey

emotional
  • Strong character development? Yes

4.0


I really loved how Darcy was ingrained with words, memorizing stories into her mind and getting comfort in them when everything went wrong in her daily life. Even better, she has a job in a library after school! The last scenes with the play was marvelous you definately see how she got a talent with words.


Her mother being a hoarder and her dad dissapearing on them, that’s her coping mecanism. That’s the first novel I see that include hoarders and how the people around them might feel, the shame attached to it; and I like it for it as it’s definately more common than we think!
