At last I finished reading this one. God. I put this on hold several months ago and only find time now to finish it. It was literally a dragging read for me and I was really not expecting it to be that, (I guess book covers and good titles can be very deceiving at times). I was just not really imme...
The Disenchantments is kind of like Zooey Deschanel. I like Zooey, I really do. She's pretty awesome. But sometimes I think she goes a bit overboard with the quirky. But other than that, she's cool. That awful metaphor aside, I really liked the way LaCour tackled the themes in this book. There is no...
A very authentic and emotional story of a girl who wants an explanation for her best friends suicide. More than that she needs to learn how to process grief and how others process their grief. This is definitely a tough story with a tough main character- Ingrid has already killed herself before the ...
I didn't like this book as much as I thought I would. I don't get what's so great about Bev. She's not even really cool, like Alaska or Margo Roth Spiegelman, or her friend Meg, from this same book. I did like that the band wasn't any good though. You never read novels about teen bands that, you kno...
Opinion:I loved loved loved this book! You know I had decided I wasn’t going to read it for a while. It was on my list of books to read but the cover kind of made me not want to rush into it. I mean I hadn’t heard much about it so I figured it wasn’t a big deal to wait. Well I was at the book store ...
”You might be looking for reasons but there are no reasons.”It was this simple line that made me realise that I not only liked, but respected this book.Out of context, it is an ambiguous, awkwardly phrased sentence that makes my fingers itch to shove in some punctuation. In context, it’s one of the...
I haven't read much contemporary YA lately and Hold Still fulfilled my need for it perfectly. I read it compulsively, barely pausing to breathe until the end. It was just... perfect. It had everything I needed - death, love, hope, art, lesbians...Dylan is like, the ultimate best friend. Not only is ...
I read Nina LaCour’s THE DISENCHANTMENTS last month and loved it so much I raced out to pick up her first novel, HOLD STILL. Oh, how I loved this one as well. It is very different than TD, but just as moving. Caitlin is starting her junior year frozen and shocked by the loss of her best friend, Ingr...
Colby and his best friend Bev have just graduated high school and in a week, they'll be leaving for the year-long trip to Europe that they've been planning for the past four years. But first, Colby is going to accompany Bev and her band, The Disenchantments on a tour through the West Coast. But no s...
