Midnight at the Electric by Jodi Lynn Anderson
4.0
I've always known one thing about my reading tastes.
I thoroughly dislike multi- generational stories told in different time periods and different perspectives. I can never connect to the characters equally; I always end up favoring one point of view over another.
Until this book because it had all of that stuff I dislike and still let me tell you, it was SMASHING.
Jodi Lynn Anderson always has flawless prose and is always bittersweet, but with this story she had just the right amount of sadness and hope and not too much sadness, like in the Vanishing Season.
When I read that book my heart basically wanted to die.
I loved everything about this book and I believe that everything hopeful and good came to pass for the characters. I believe Lenore spent her last days with her favorite person and that Adri loved her Mars and learned to love the people on and that Ellis made his way to England to be with Catherine and her Beezie. I believe they fell in love again and Jodi Lynn Anderson didn't even write it.
Everything, from the characters to the historical detail to the emotions to the setting were sparkling and so, so perfect. It was the most original thing I've read in ages and I'll definitely read it again one day.
Automatic favorite.
Sexual content: Kissing
Cursing: not much. Very mild.
Violence: N/A
