The Insomniacs by Marit Weisenberg
4.0
What to say…while I liked this book, it started out very slowly. By the end, I understood the story the author was trying to tell, but I think they could have established it earlier. In the beginning and middle, the story is a lot about the main characters concussion and her not being able to sleep, then spending every night with the neighbor boy she loves. So, it seems for a lot of the book like that’s what the story is about. It’s only in the last part of the book that it is truly revealed what the book is about and what all the lead up is about. But, by the end of the story, the author establishes and makes the reader feel the trauma the main character had been through and how it has truly affected her.
