"I want the bus driver to turn the bus around and I want to spend the rest of my days in a whirlwind of the last few days. Of flirting. Of laughing. Of ridding the world of evil. Of folk songs. Of piggybacks. Of hip-hop dancing. Of foolishness.And most of all, of forgetting.I look past them to where...
It was pleasant to find a YA that was not fluffy, light, predictable (not that I dislike them). The cover may be a little deceitful, because it suggest the opposite as what it is. On one hand, yes, it is about Francesca moving into a ex-all-boys-school, where the boys are adapting to getting used to...
I don’t remember the last time anyone looked me in the eye to speak to me. I’m frightened to look at myself in the mirror because maybe nothing’s there.I miss the Stella girls telling me what I am. That I’m sweet and placid and accommodating and loyal and nonthreatening and good to have around. And ...
Actually, there's no other way to rate this book other than giving it 5 shinning stars. And just like Jellicoe Road I'm speechless. What to say about Marchetta which hasn't already been said? If you still haven't read at least one of her books I just can't take you as a serious reader. Her books are...
FAITH IN HUMANITY RESTORED. I had honestly not expected this book to be so amazing. I am so surprised to know that yes, there are still some authors who are capable of writing about real things. This book dealt with all possible adolescent and family problems and I could totally relate to Francesc...
What do I think.... I think that it's impossible to review a Melina Marchetta book. I find that I'm saying the same things over and over. How about this; When I finished Saving Francesca I clutched it to my chest and wiped the tears off my cheeks with a big dopey grin on my face. I wanted to lay d...
Please, mom! Just one gif!I can't explain how many feels I have fighting to get out of me right now. This is an amazing, beautiful, emotional and funny story about life. Melina Marchetta reminded me why I think she's one of the best YA writers in the world. Reading Saving Francesca was such a pleasa...

This is a people-y book about people. It's full of people. Don't be fooled by all of them being called "people"; they're very different, idiosyncratic ladies. And gents. The jokes in it aren't funny, but that's fine because the characters are teenagers. Teanager's jokes aren't usually funny. The wri...
This is a review from reading this book for the second time. I just reread [b:The Piper's Son|7417780|The Piper's Son|Melina Marchetta|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1333662548s/7417780.jpg|9362085] and then I just had to go back and reread [b:Saving Francesca|82434|Saving Francesca|Mel...
