Destination Anywhere by Sara Barnard
4.0
“You can’t set your self esteem by other people. It is never your fault if people don’t see what’s good in you.”
***Content Warnings : Bullying, drug abuse and verbal abuse.
This book was a very, very emotional experience. It was my first Sara Barnard novel too, and I am so impressed with the author’s ability to make emotions come alive through the pages of a book. We follow Peyton as she leaves UK to travel to Canada on her own, because she needs to find her true self. The cover might seem fluffy and all ~ but the book deals with many complex issues like abandonment and bullying. The story is divided into two timelines : before and after. The plot layout was very interestingly done, since we get to see Peyton discovering what true friendship truly is at present time, compared to the way she was awfully treated by her so-called friends in the past timeline. It made me empathize with her in a way I didn’t expect to.
My favourite part of the book was how it represented a well-known lesson : ” A little bit of kindness goes a very long way. ” Peyton found a group of people to travel throughout Canada with, and they were so unconditionally supportive of her. It made her see a new version of herself. AND I WAS SO HAPPY FOR HER. Peyton, for me wasn’t a character I always liked (you’ll know why when you read the book) but man, her character development made me so, so happy.
