It def was a slow burn read and one that focused more on friendship and less on the romances. But it was very slow pace read. I also really liked the the various POV that we got throught the read. I also thought this book tackled harder topics like family, friends and mental health issues. I have always been a fan of twins in novel and this book was super quick read!

But it was very slow pace read. I also really liked the the various POV that we got throught the read. I also thought this book tackled harder topics like family, friends and mental health issues. I have always been a fan of twins in novel and this book was super quick read! But one that def packed a emotional punch! This one just didn’t grab me as much as her other books. Definitely a story about coming to terms with who you are and what you want to be. Being the perfect girl isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be and when you get to close to the flames, without asking for help, you can get burned. Learning how to speak up and ask for help is a major theme throughout the book. I enjoyed the dynamic of the twins Immie & Arch: two halves of a whole, who also need to discover where they fit in without each other. Told from four different perspectives, it wasn’t hard to keep up with and discovering who was setting the fire was easier to figure out than I thought. teen fiction - 3 friends undergo lies and betrayal (one has kissed another's now-ex boyfriend), only to have their junior year disrupted again by a new student Short, quick-reading chapters with alternating points of view and lots of teenaged drama make this a speedy read. There's Paige, the "perfect" popular student with rich but absent parents; Immie, the best friend that supposedly kissed Paige's boyfriend; Arch, Immie's twin brother, Paige's other BFF, and the one who actually kissed Jackson; and Ro, the crush-worthy new import from London that will unwittingly drive another rift between Paige and Immie. In the backdrop of all these mixed-up emotions are suspected incidents of arson at their school, along with the (now commonplace but still devastating) wildfires that plague the west coast, and the added possibility that one of these students will reach a breaking point and do something they will regret. While I'm not sure I agree with the "fire" theme of the book (the book jacket description seems especially forced and heavy handed), and the ending seemed a tad anticlimactic, this is a quick, light read with somewhat complex characters, each with their own issues to work through, and I enjoyed it. Julie Buxbaum understands teens and knows how to write great books for them, and she continues that with Year on Fire. Twins Immie and Archer have been best friends with Paige for years, but as their junior year begins secrets and lies have gotten between them. When a new boy comes to school and joins their group, things get even more complicated. Year on Fire delves into themes of friendship, family, mental illness, and romance with believable characters and relationships. Buxbaum’s fans will not be disappointed, and other YA readers will definitely enjoy this book. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"What secrets will people keep--or reveal--to protect those they love? This novel, set against the frightening backdrop of an encroaching fire season, sparks reflection about friendship, the allure of romantic love, and loyalty to family. Can a single kiss change everything? It was a year on fire. They fell in love. Someone was bound to get burned. The Spark: Just days before the start of junior year for twins Arch and Immie and their best friend, Paige, a spontaneous kiss shakes the very foundation of their friendship. But some loyalties run too deep to be broken by accidental betrayal. The Fuel: Enter Rohan, new to Wood Valley High by way of London, who walks into school on the first day completely overwhelmed by his sudden move halfway around the world. When Paige calls dibs on him--he's too cute to ignore--Immie is in no position to argue, certainly not after taking the fall for the disloyal kiss. Too bad for Immie that Ro feels like the best kind of familiar. The Kindling: Former lab partners Arch and Jackson, Paige's ex-boyfriend, have never considered themselves more than friends. But sometimes feelings can grow like wildfire. The Flames: When the girls' bathroom at Wood Valley is set ablaze, no one doubts it's arson. But in this bastion of privilege, who'd be angry enough to want to burn down the school? Answer: pretty much everyone. Year on Fire explores the blinding power of the lies we tell others and those we tell ourselves, the tight grip of family secrets, the magic of first love, and the grounding beauty of friendship."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
