katylang 's review for:

Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer
4.0

A quick novel - I read it in a day. The story runs deeper than it appears at first blush. I thought the way that the journals stood in for how we process grief was very clear and powerful, and it was refreshing to not have the supernatural element become the focus. A little contrived, maybe, but like I said it almost reads like a short story with a powerful message.
