Sure Signs of Crazy by Karen Harrington
3.0
I loved Sarah's voice; it was just as confusing, interesting, and funny as a real preteen. Her crushes, her love of To Kill a Mockingbird, her boredom with her summer- I felt so bad for her in the beginning, until she started opening up and reaching in to her neighborhood. I loved how the struggle's of this family were written, but I wish the mother's voice could be heard. I know, unless you have been in a really close situation with what happened in this book with the mother (postpartum depression?? It was never really explained) it would be hard to see both sides of such a big issue, seeing the mother's point of view, what was mentally wrong with her.
My biggest issue with this book was the appropriateness. What grandmother hides her risque romance books and then (when she finds out her 12 year old granddaughter reads such things) is all like, "Well, if you have any questions..."??? Like, ew.
Another issue was the continuity. Certain times, I was so sure this character was sitting right there, and then all of a sudden they were driving in the car. I feel like in the online version I read, some things were missing (or poor book editing) because certain things are mentioned that were never written about adn showed up randomly talked about.
3 and 1/4 stars!
