![]() I think if you are a YA fan though, you'll love this. I understand some of the criticisms but I think others might have missed the point. The majority of reviews on goodreads for this book were 5 stars and then the majority of anything lower were approximately 1 star.so it is certainly polarizing! I did love it though, I found it readable, engaging, honest, and I loved the Virginia Woolf references (probably because I like her words but in short doses). That's what happened when I stayed up past my bedtime to read two-thirds of this last night because I had to finish it. Jennifer is currently at work on her fourth and fifth novels for young adults, with number three Breathless coming out September 29. Is this romanticising or glamourising serious issues?Īnd then I am also, often, bombarded with so many emotions. The film starring Elle Fanning, Justice Smith, Luke Wilson, and Keegan-Michael Key, is now streaming on Netflix, with a script by Jennifer and Liz Hannah (The Post). Does the intended audience understand all these references? ![]() ![]() Do teenagers really understand literature like these characters do? (Apparently not the majority that I teach!) Why do YA novels make me cry more than other genres? Should I review this as myself or the intended audience? When I read YA I tend to have a lot of thoughts (feelings too, lots of feelings.) ![]()
