Lily's Crossing by Patricia Reilly Giff
2.0
I have to say, I thought the story really didn't do the synopsis justice. I found this book hard to follow and quite frankly, the development of this good friendship between Albert and Lily as described here left much to be desired. It was only by reading the author's notes/letter at the end that the whole story of the importance and impact of love and friendship was put into perspective for me.
I did like how we did get to see Lily mature some throughout this story. We see her become more emotionally intelligent and more aware of other's feelings and the impact her lies were having on other people's lives. I also liked the cleverness of how her father let her know where he was without telling her directly in his letters. I also appreciate the history in this book.
Otherwise, I was honestly bored reading this.
