libraryladys 's review for:
Belzhar
by Meg Wolitzer
This is an Eliot Rosewater Nominee 2016-17.
Meg Wolitzer's writing is beautiful but the plot was just okay. It had a strong premise however, like most of the other reviews, I was upset that Jam had a serious issue that was not dealt with. In the book, she was helped in mourning her boyfriend's death but she had deeper issues that were not addressed. Maybe it's because I work with teenagers--but I believe this book should have demonstrated more responsibility toward mental illness.
