La sinopsis de este libro es totalmente engañosa. Comencé a leerlo pensando que iba a encontrarme una historia fresca y de autodescubrimiento post-muerte de una hermana, al estilo de Saving June, y en cambio me encontré con una historia donde el personaje principal cae un abismo de drogas y enfermed...

"As I pedal down the street ... the city blocks peel away like pages in a book I’m rifling through to find a single, highlighted sentence." This book left me entirely stunned, I adore everything about it! the writing is fantastic and the story was nothing like it said in the synopsis It's so much ...

This is my second 2013 debut in a row, and it went much like the last one: I did enjoy it but had a few minor problems with it. Even a few days after finishing this book, I’m not totally sure how I feel about protagonist Kiri. There were times I identified with her and liked her, and then there we...

Wild Awake is a story that sucks you right in. It evoked so many thoughts in me, I'm not even sure I can come close to doing it any justice in my review. I loved it for being counter to stereotypes on so many fronts. First, Kiri admitted to having had a crush on Lukas for the longest time. When thos...

I liked Wild Awake, but wow I feel like this book messed with my mind a bit. It took me by surprise that this was the direction this book went in, because I didn't expect it at all. It definitely took me a few days to get my thoughts clear on this one.Kiri's parents are away on vacation and she is s...

When people ask me why I loved Wild Awake, I have a difficult time putting my reasons into words. This book is very different than any other contemporary YA book I've read, in a good, but indescribable way. For me, the most notable aspect of Hilary T. Smith's debut was how incredibly real it felt......
