I have this new thing where if I start a book, I can't quit halfway through-- I have to read the whole thing. I was really dreading reading this when I read the first few pages, just bc it seemed too the fault in our stars/angsty teenage romance-y. And tbh, it was, but it also made me cry twice and I think that had I read it a few years ago, I would have thought it was a lot better. Personally it was more of a 3-star book but I put 4 just bc I think I'm not the right audience and it's not the book's fault, it's just the way it is. ( ) I am in awe as I write this review... I basically ripped my heart out and left it between the pages. This emotionally charged book has left me empty. Talk about epic level ya writing. Sutton is anything but your ordinary teen. She has anger management issues and rightfully so. Her family life is a stack of Jenga pieces just waiting to crumble... Her brother was born with a disability and him being special has pushed her mother out the door and her father towards the bottle. It is up to Sutton to care for her brother and it's anything but easy. He often becomes upset and distraught, shining a bright light on their dark situation. She is kicked out school, harassed by an ex boyfriend, and left to battle her aunt for custody. While she knows her little brother's life is anything but desirable, she can't let go of him. When Cameron, the new kid at school, takes an interest in her she is confused as to why. She tries to push him away, but he is quite persistent. Together they weather the storm that is her life. He takes her moodiness, accepts her home life, and makes Evan (the little brother) a priority. He rescues her and eventually gets much deserved revenge. It's a whirlwind read with so many raw moments. I found myself gasping, cringing, tearing up, and swooning. It's not at all a pretty book, but the overall execution is flawless. Honestly it's more like 2.5 stars. Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad for even really enjoyed Savvy as a MC. And I absolutely adored her relationship with her brother Evan. But this was a romance with a good side story and I hated Cameron! He was so passive and just blah I wish there hadn't even been a romance. I LOVE Young's Program series, but it's great to see that she can write excellent standalone novels as well - this is one of them. The stress, anger, and helplessness of a teen caring for a disabled sibling, without the help she needs from adults who should be handling the situation, is realistic, and the ending, just as much. It's hard for someone used to taking care of others to make decisions to put themselves first, but if that doesn't happen, the caretaker has nothing left to give, and this is a hard lesson for anyone, never mind a teenage girl, to learn. Once again, Young empowers her characters to learn from their mistakes, think for themselves, and find ways to deal with negative adult behavior and influences. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
