leahbobetBecause Above is starting to get them, and I've been neglecting.
Several reviews are appearing all over the internets.
There are also some official-like reviews:
VOYA (under Editorial Reviews) says, among other things, that it's "a challenging book, and much of the onus is placed on the reader, but teens willing to invest the time will find themselves rewarded with a multilayered tale that speaks to universal needs and desires."
I've read the Kirkus review, which will be available right over there on Thursday.
And a starred review from Publishers Weekly, calling it "heartbreaking, romantic, complex, and magical".
But so far, this one? Is my favourite, because of this bit here: "I took this as a commentary on how we treat the homeless and the mentally ill – or just anyone who doesn't fit into our idea of what a good society should look like. This story really moved me and it really made me want to do something!"
That is what a book should be able to do.
So yes. Now we're all caught up, and I can go have my lunch.
