One-Sentence Summary: Meg’s boyfriend is dead, but that doesn’t mean she can’t be with him.
Time/Setting: Present in Vermont
Review: If I say too much about this book, I’ll spoil it. I was invested in this one. I honestly don’t know how I put it down to go to sleep last night, but I did. I have more self-control than I thought. In all seriousness, this is one of the best YA novels I’ve read this year. The black girl character, Sierra, wasn’t stereotypical, at least, not by much; and I only say she was a little because of the braids and beads thing. Like, what black dancer wears braids with the beads on the end? It’s not practical, but it just seems like how a white person would describe a black person. Just sayin’ . All of the characters were awesome. I don’t think that I disliked any of them, or the story itself. However, the whole falling in love in 41 days things was irksome, but it has a purpose. I really liked this book because of the literary theme of it how one can get lost in writing, extreme focus on a literary author. It had no slut shaming, no backstabbing BFFs, and a pretty happy ending for a dismal book overall, so I was satisfied.
Favorite Character: I liked Jam and Cierra’s friendship, not exactly a character I know, but it’s my review.
Least Favorite Character: Didn’t have one.
Favorite Quote: Pretty good description: “There was a scrape to his voice. And though I don't have any idea what people thought of him back in London, where that kind of accent was ordinary, to me his voice sounded like a lit match being held to the edge of a piece of paper. It just exploded in a quiet burst." (pg. 3)
Recommend? Yes.
Re-read? Yes, and I’m glad I already own it.
