Review:This book brought back a lot of unpleasant memories, and I was going to put it down and return it back to the library unread. I remember what it was like to be mercilessly picked on in school, and I wasn’t sure that I wanted a refresher course. I became invested in Noelle’s unhappiness, tho...
I had higher hopes for Keep Holding On then what the book delivered. I was hoping for something more along the lines of Saving Francesca, Life Without Friends, Fat Kid Rules the World or Feeling Sorry for Celia. All of these books deal with tough life stuff without meandering into after school speci...
As posted on booknook - Young Adult book reviewsSusane Colasanti is amazing. I fell in love with Noelle on the first page. And that's not an exaggeration. Noelle's character has so much voice that I can literally feel her coming off the pages. She's a teenager and she totally sounds like one! T...
The Page SageI think every teen can relate to this book. Even if your home life is fine, or you're not hurting financially, if you are a teen you will connect with Noelle. This book isn't so much about romance, like most of Susane Colasanti's books, but about a girl coping with bullying. Noelle's st...
Keep Holding On by Susane Colasati broke my heart in so many different ways, during so many different parts. From the very beginning to the very end, Keep Holding On kept my attention, and had my emotions on overload.Keep Holding On is story told in the eyes of main character, Noelle Wexler. Embar...
I don’t know if this book making me feel so much is a good thing or a bad thing. Because if her quoting Buddha is right and WE ARE WHAT WE THINK, then her life is in the crapper… especially as we go through every excruciating thing happening to her, done to her, and not being done for her. All thos...
On every review I’ve read so far, people have mentioned that they’ve been through what Noelle has been through. That high school was indeed a rough time for them, too, that they were bullied, but they made it. They made it onto the other side. They survived. But here’s where I differ.I haven’t been ...
This is the YA novel about bullying that the world's been waiting for. So many books addressing bullying take on a preachy stance, ignoring the realities that this bullying consumes a teen's life with shame, making it so difficult for bullying to be addressed. Colasanti knows what she's talking ab...
My Rating: 3.0 When I first heard Susane Colasanti, one of my favorite authors ever since I've read When It Happens, had a new book coming out, I was ecstatic. Then I heard that it was titled Keep Holding On, and I'm like, isn't that a song? When I finally got my hands on the book, I'm like: this mu...
Just finishing this emotional read, I find myself speechless, quiet, in tears, raw, hopeful, in memories and deep thought. This book is POWERFUL! If you read this and are unaffected than you are lucky. Everyone should read this book and I mean EVERYONE. BULLYING some feel is a right of passage...REA...
