First Line: “I’ve never been to a funeral until today.”
“Girl meets boy.
Girl loses boy.
Girl gets boy back…
…sort of.
Ava can’t see or touch him,
Unless she’s dreaming.
She can’t hear his voice except for the
faint whispers I her mind.
Most would think she’s crazy, but she know
he’s here.
The boy Ava thought she’d spend the rest of
her life with.
He’s back from the dead,
As proof that love truly knows no bounds.”
My Rating: 4/5
I never thought I
would enjoy a book in poetry stance so much. It makes the story more dramatic.
I love that time seems to be moving slower (in a good way) I feel like I got to
know Ava. And that’s something that makes me truly happy. I feel that real
authors are able to get across just who there characters are and we as readers
can see them in our mind.
I also think that
the themes in this novel were impressive. I think that as young adults death is
something really hard to deal with. Not only if we’re directly affected but
also if we know a friend who is going through the grieving process. We try to
follow social norms but it is an awkward topic. I’d say more awkward than the
sex talk.
Finally the
suspense in this book wasn’t all that great, and for me that’s where it lost it’s
one star. All an all a great weekend read.
THANK YOU LISA

Love,
