I am *so* behind on book reviews! Oops. Not that I haven't been reading a whole lot, because I have been, but I just haven't been blogging them. I'll get caught up one of these days. But I thought I'd start with my first book of 2015 and go in order :)
It was a treat to read this book, and Medeia has a way with creating interesting and complex characters that really draw the reader in. I enjoyed this novel a lot, especially the growth in Lily. The situation with her mother's abduction is incredibly tense and Lily manages to handle it well. Her journey to work out the clues and help bring her mother home was great and I found myself cheering her on. And really wanting to visit her father's pastry shop, haha! It was incredibly sad to see how little Lily thought of herself with her struggles in school, which made her growth and acceptance so much more rewarding. I recommend this one especially to those who enjoyed The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, or if you just enjoy a good mystery with a little magic thrown in :)
love Medeia. I'll have to read this one, just finished 52 Likes last weekend and loved it.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this book, but I love the idea of a main character with learning disabilities. I think that's an area that's overlooked.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading this, but, like you, I am SO behind in my TBR list and my reviews. Ugh.

Thanks for the review! Medeia's book has been all over as of late.
ReplyDeleteI just came from Kelly H's blog, where Medeia was featured there! =) Such a whirlwind when you have books come out close together. And I hear you on being behind!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it an amazing book? I loved it! I just bought 52 Likes. I participate in the Cephalopod Coffeehouse where I recap all the books I read that month--it's always between one and three, sadly. I write about 2,500 words a day for my clients, which doesn't leave much time for reading (or writing, unfortunately) fiction!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great book. It is on my list of books to read- I am just trying to catch up on my TBR list from 2014 right now! So far- read 3.
ReplyDeleteI read and enjoyed The Curious Incident of the Dog at Night- so that made me even more curious about Medeia's book. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for reviewing my book. I'm glad you liked it. :)
