nssutton 's review for:
Gabi, a Girl in Pieces
by Isabel Quintero
I loved it, I loved it, I loved it.
Sometimes when reading a diary format story, you don't actually feel like you're reading a diary, but this nailed that mix of high and low - a deep, profound exchange alongside a totally inane proclamation. Quintero's writing is spot-on, but Gabi's voice is the show stealer and I could follow her life for a hundred more pages. My heart rose and fell with her's. I remember falling in love with poetry at the same time in my life for the same reasons. I loved watching her develop her view of what it means to be a woman and to challenge the perceptions of other women in her life. Highly, highly recommend.
