Due to copy and paste, formatting has been lost.I've been wanting to read The Disenchantments for a while before I picked it up. I hadn't heard much hype (always a good thing), so I was super excited to read it and form my own opinions on it. So I opened it. And I ended up loving it to death.I was i...
What can I say? HOLD STILL was a book I purchased as a closeout awhile back. It’s been sitting on my shelf, collecting dust, forgotten behind a stack of newer releases. I’m already 4 books behind my goal for 2013 so I thought, “This one is short. I’ll give it a try.” Two hours of frantic reading in ...
This book is so honest it almost hurts. Didn't like it as much as her other book, [b:Hold Still|6373717|Hold Still|Nina LaCour|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1270305052s/6373717.jpg|6561348], but still just as beautiful, just as breaking, and just as real.And that's about it, because if there's one th...
While I’d read lots of positive reviews of Hold Still, it was actually the book trailer that convinced me to read it. I was in the mood for something depressing earlier this year and couldn’t track down my copy of Thirteen Reasons Why, and thinking this one might be similar, I picked it up instead....
If the breathtaking cover of Hold Still hasn’t already captured your attention, the beautiful writing inside certainly will. LaCour’s debut is an ambitious piece, taking on grief, confusion, and the swirling unknown of despair that leads to teenage suicide. While I can’t say that this is an easy rea...
4 Stars. Because 3 stars doesn't quite fit. And 5 stars isn't really what I had in mind. So. If you're looking for an enthusiastic review, you won't find one below. And if you're looking for a negative review, it won't be here either. It's just neutral. Of my thought process~I took so long on this b...
4.5/5i found myself doing something i’d not done in the longest time while reading a book. i normally just zip through these then throw out the points that’s left an impact on me. usually, i come away with what i liked and didn’t like (an isa meets so and so plus highlights, if you will.) but this o...
“Hold Still” is a very… personal book. Not personal in the way that I have a personal connection with it, but more like the story is a very intimate one. Which, in itself, isn’t surprising, given the synopsis, but it’s a testament to Caitlin’s voice and LaCour’s writing ability. Oftentimes, first pe...
I first read Nina LaCour a few months back with her second book The Discenchanments. I completely fell in love with her writing style and her character development. Knowing I had Hold Still in my possession I was hesitant to read it because it was so different from the other book. But after a gentle...
