A review by miagw962
The Yearbook Committee by Sarah Ayoub

4.0

I came into this book, 'The Yearbook Committee' not really expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of writing and the interesting way of story-telling portrayed throughout this novel.

I liked the format of this book, being written in first person but from all the views of Matty, Ryan, Charlie, Gillian and Tammi (people involved in the yearbook committee). It is always interesting to see other people's sides of the story. All of these characters were so different and I like how they were all united as individuals thanks to the yearbook committee at their school.

I was quite surprised with the ending of this book with the death of Gillian, relaying a theme of lethal bullying and drug use. It was quite saddening to me because she was one of the more likeable characters. I believe Sarah Ayoub has done a great job of both introducing and developing characters in this unique and heart-warming story.
