I put it on my tbr-list a while ago. Thanks for you thoughtful review, it was very helpful. I think it takes a talent to make reader relate to characters with absolutely different experience. Glad to hear Jeff Zentner managed to do it.Kseniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05362452522963234123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-87766415858427185032017-01-06T12:06:19.200-05:002017-01-06T12:06:19.200-05:00I can tell this is not the type of book I'd en...I can tell this is not the type of book I'd enjoy because it sounds entirely depressing! I'd want to shake Dill's mom and dad for being so selfish! I think a lot of "Best books of whatever year" get listed because they are "issue" books. I think I categorize my best books by my enjoyment factor. Maybe that's superficial, but I get enough "issues" with real life and the news. Wonderful review, Keertana! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682335183798720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-88753615510563246252017-01-05T19:50:32.388-05:002017-01-05T19:50:32.388-05:00I've heard so much about this novel, I've ...I've heard so much about this novel, I've seen it almost everywhere now!

I so like the sound of how much depth this book contains and just how much Zentner brings to it. Thanks again for such a gorgeous review! :)Jasprithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346050783201302967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3523300192245025551.post-423151844116055762017-01-05T00:19:11.495-05:002017-01-05T00:19:11.495-05:00I definitely have seen a lot of really positive re...I definitely have seen a lot of really positive reviews for this book! I got a copy from the pub but gave it to someone who was really looking forward to reading it. =) You're right, a lot of stories typically deal with students looking to go to college after HS graduation. That's awesome that the author chose and developed a character who is different and worked after graduating, as well as came from a lower socioeconomic status. I feel like I wouldn't be super impressed either? Your review makes a lot of sense. =) I'm glad you enjoyed the book, even if it isn't a new favorite!
