You may not be able to borrow books right now from the library until we kickoff the brand new School Year 2014-2015 but that sure won't be stopping us from recommending you more books to check out once you get back (which means more books to add to your already long reading lists).For the first day of March, we're highly suggesting you get your hands and your eyes on realistic fiction author Sarah Dessen's 2011 novel, What Happened to Goodbye.
The book chronicles the life of seventeen-year-old Mclean Sweet through her journey of change, family dynamics, high school, identity issues, friendship, and self-discovery amongst many things as she reinvents herself everytime she moves houses when her dad finishes a 'project'.
It's actually your very average kind of teenage rant and who can't relate with that, right? Except for the fact that this is Sarah Dessen we're talking about and literary awards or nada, she's definitely today's one of the best writers in the genre today so of course she adds her own twists on the typical! Here's a lovely quote from Dessen's site.
Good books, like our true selves, aren’t instantly created or perfectly crafted. They are messy and frustrating and flawed, which are exactly the same things that make them real.
Quite true, isn't it? Lots of people will be graduating at this time of the month or on the first week of April and even if you're not graduating, you're still going away for the summer vacation. You'll be leaving school where we admittedly meet most of the people that we learn to cherish and who mold us in the long run. Better see the book for yourself and tell us what you think. ;D
