Tedious

Revisado: 07-22-22

I struggled with this book. While sad and a brutal diagnosis, I found it a case report of a narcissistic dying surgeon. A selfish account of how his dreams were shattered, rarely commenting on the effect of his diagnosis and decisions on his family.

Wonderful, real and intense. Trigger on language

Revisado: 11-25-20

I listened to this book and my 13yo daughter read it. Yes, it is more appropriate for the YA age group. However, having worked in inner city schools and with kids exactly like this, it is their reality. The violence, language and life challenges are real. Those kids see this every single day, it doesn't wait for when they are old enough to deal with it. There are reviews about the N word, of course we know this is not to be used, but come on people, the kids use it all the time. The content in this book is real life for so many. Instead of shying away from it, let us get uncomfortable and raise questions with our kids, help them work through these tough issues.

This book has a beautiful story of choosing your own path, not just going with the norms. It addresses tough subjects, some of which are not brought up in other books of the same theme. The idea that adults make bad decisions and they can apologize, that kids can find a new way, that friendships can help bridge new hope. This book is wonderful. Beautiful story of friendship and learning to accept the person you can actually be when you go for it! Bravo!

Beautiful story about perspective and growing

Revisado: 11-03-20

This is the first Livesey book I have read/listened to and it did not disappoint! The reading was wonderful, the characters drew me in and the story a beautiful plot of turmoil, dealing with emotions, and learning to live with one's history. A lovely book with a descriptive journey of discovering one's own path.

Love this story!

Revisado: 10-20-20

I am not a true lover of poetry, but this book has challenged me to listen more closely to the words poets write. I love how you can literally feel the teens angst, hurt, love, shame, and questioning. The power is in the words indeed! Beautiful

Meh

While there were some interesting plot ideas, the book was basically boring and yet another story of resilient woman makes it in the male dominated world.
