As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti

4.0

This book accurately articulated a teenage pov. Most will say the main character is pessimistic, but he’s a accurately written product of a small town. Small town folk entertain themselves with other peoples business Because no one else has better to do. With this in mind I saw drama progressions that my teenage mind found plausible. This is a good book for the rebellious, the bored, and those looking for an honest book about self discovery and growing up while dealing with grief. Nori’s religious disposition was understandably questioned and teased but was just awkward at times. Aside from that it was a good character that contrasted the town’s beliefs. Although Juniper (the mc’s ex) seemed awkward at first when mentioned, but so is bumping into your ex. The only way to fully understand why this book has the characters it does is to be in a small town and sit a while or to be fresh out of highschool or still be in highschool. This doesn’t mean other groups can’t appreciate or relate, but the fore mentioned groups are more likely to relate.
