My Love, My Love: Or the Peasant Girl by Rosa Guy
2.0
I had background. For choir, we did music from Once on this Island, which this was based off of. If I didn't know that story, I would be so confused.
First of all, I have a reading problem. "But Pegs, you read so much? Whatever could be the problem?" Ah, you see, I am an easily excitable person. When find a book too boring or too exciting, I will skip paragraphs. NO JOKE. I have to go reread. However, I had no patience for this book, and settled with being confused.
Enough about me. Another thing, it was too fast paced. It happened so fast. "No Ti Moune, we shall not help the boy." "Naw, Maman." "No Ti Moune, don't find the boy" "Naw Tonton"
However, I do love the story. A modern, Carribean retelling of the orginal Little Mermaid. Yes, PLEASE. I love the way the gods play a part, and the underlying morals. Maybe you'll read it, maybe you won't. Just tell me like you like it.
(Side note: GUYS I WROTE LIKE A REAL REVIEW YAY!!!!!!!!!!!)
