That's an awesome quote. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Natalie.
DeleteI love when books contain these little nuggets about life. It's one reason I adore most all middle grade books -- somewhere inside each, you find a nugget such as this.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Barbara!
DeleteGuh, I loved this book so much!!!
ReplyDeleteMe too, Gina! Thanks again for the arc.
DeleteGreat quote! But I think you left off the last part:
ReplyDelete"All reality, I decide, is a blender where hopes and dreams are mixed with fear and despair and hopefully enough rum to make a decent pina colada."
Ahaha, Chris! Um, not in a middle grade novel, unfortunately. Nice try, though! I give you points for that.
DeleteIt sounds grim but at the same time so very true. Plus it hits close to home. Very close.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Joanne.

Gosh, Akoss. If it hits close to home you're either going to love it or not be able to read it at all. Hugs to you, my friend.
DeleteI really need to read this book. I keep hearing about it. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Rosi!
DeleteLove the quote and excellent review. I don't read much MG but I'm putting this on my list. Thanks!
