Another book from my very large TBR pile! I was looking for
a quick read on Sunday night, and I grabbed this one off my shelf. That
is my new strategy, just grab a book and start reading it. If it is in my
TBR pile, it must be there for a reason.
This story grabbed me right away, I mean,
I read it straight through because I was so caught up in the story. I am
pretty sure I won't be able to do the book justice here, all I can say is that
I LOVED this story, it took my breath away in many places.
Forgotten Girl writes poetry, and tells
her story through poems. At one point in the story she writes "If
only I didn't have to write it all down, but I do, I do. I don't know
why. It just makes me feel better, less alone with my thoughts; less
liable to forget all the truth. When she meets Random Boy, she feels an
immediate connection and discovers he is a writer too. She shares her
writing with him, and he with her. The only problem is, as they grow
closer, Random Boy wants to know everything about her. He doesn't allow
her any secrets from him. The secrets she keeps from him cost her greatly
and she needs to learn how to be in love without losing herself.
This book was so incredibly written, there
were so many times that I stopped reading to just reflect on a stanza from the
story. Even though this was written for young adults, there were many
important messages for adults. This book is much too mature for
Elementary classrooms, but high school students would love this book!
