abigailbat 's review for:
Gabi, a Girl in Pieces
by Isabel Quintero
Okay, I just loved this book. I feel like my colleagues at work are probably sick of me going on about how good it is. And Thank Goodness for people like Kelly Jensen and awards like the Morris Award or else I probably would not have picked up this book and I would be missing out.
Gabi's voice is SO REALISTIC. I truly felt like I could have been reading the actual diary of a 17-year-old girl. And even though I have nothing in common with Gabi culturally or even the experiences that she goes through, 17-year-old me would have strongly identified with her. I would hand this to teens who love diary stories and real characters that they can root for, and anyone who loves the honesty of Anne Frank's diary because even though this is a fictional story, the truths about life and love and hard times come through beautifully.
