Flannery by Lisa Moore
5.0
I've been somewhat disappointed with a few of the young adult novels that I've read this past year, but Flannery has restored my love in the genre! It was a such a great book; I've had a joy reading it. It's about a high school girl just trying to make it through and graduate and deal with all the punches life deals her, and there are a lot of punches. She's supported by her wonderful family throughout the process of figuring out who she really is, and trying to help her friends through their struggles as well.
I really enjoyed this book because I felt like the characters acted like real people (well except the main bullying scene seemed a little crazy to me but I don't know, I guess it could happen) and were relatable. Though her mother is...unconventional, the love and support she gives Flannery is beautiful. And I love how Flannery grows up in the novel, and how she sticks up for herself at the end. It's a very natural progression of how she grows up. And the love potions drifting through it all can't help but bring a smile to your face :)
I received this book in a Goodreads Giveaway.
