Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly
5.0
My copy of this book has a million sticky notes in it, underlines and slips of paper with notes tucked into the pages.
I have never read prose so poetic or compelling.
I read this book during a very difficult time in my life. I felt there was no hope and that everything around me was crashing. To know protagonists which can relate to that and make it through without glossing anything over is genuinely life-changing. To find some hope before certain oncoming doom, to create that hope for others as well. It's informed a lot of the way I live today, for the better, and the way I interact with others (again, for the better). No action is meaningless, no grand emotional gesture will ever be totally forgotten or at least it can't be pointless.
Anyway, definitely an all-time favourite, if not my top all-time favourite. I also discovered a lot of amazing music because of this book.
