Our Year of Maybe by Rachel Lynn Solomon
3.0
3.5/5 Stars
Things I really enjoyed about this book:
1. The fact that Sophie is dyslexic. I've never read a book where a main character has dyslexia. It was really interesting because there were facts in there as well.
2. I love how Solomon incorporates Judaism into her books. It's always interesting to read about a different faith that you never grow up with.
3. The author put one of my favorite graphic novels, Saga, into it.
4. I really liked how it mentioned masturbating and periods. I mentioned this in an update, but I love when young adult novels do it. It's not really mentioned a lot.
5. The fact that there is a bisexual main character.
6. I loved Peter in the beginning.
7. I related to Sophie on so many levels. About having a different personality at school, with friends, and with parents. Plus, feeling alone in a crowd.
8. I loved how Sophie seemed to gain a little independence with dance.
Things I didn't love (Spoilers ahead):
1. I hated Sophie's chapters. She was all about Peter, and while it was cute sometimes, it was annoying after a little bit.
2. Sophie expected Peter to fall in love with her after the transplant.
3. Immediately after his transplant Peter seemed to get as far away from Sophie as possible. Which i get because he hasn't had a lot of freedoms, but still.
4. It got a little too dramatic. They slept together out of nowhere? That doesn't make sense. It seems like the author just had to do something to make them split apart.
