The other central character is nineteen the nephew of the pregnant woman, with his own woes, and the family woes the two of them share. and it's not that teens can't understand the emotions, it just strange to me to keep writing these books that have such a broad market and audience and publishing them as teen fiction, thus cutting the audience in half. these aren't relatable high-school relationships there are layers of betrayal and heartbreak and years of built-up hopes and letdowns crudding up the lives of these characters. when one of the two main characters is a woman in her forties experiencing her first pregnancy with a painful baby-daddy situation and giant bloody handfuls of family drama swirling all over, i just wonder what the teens are going to make of it. she's something ferocious and beautiful that is coming to get you.Īnd again marchetta is exploding the scope of the YA novel. a slow build where you become sewn to the characters - conjoined at their hearts and then with a single line of uncommonly pure emotional vérité she will just slice at those stitches and cast you adrift and you won't even see it coming. and it's not a nicholas sparks teenagers kissing in the rain kind of ait's the little things. please - as a thomas hardy veteran, you can't get me that way. i am going to have to buy the copy i borrowed from work because my tears got on a couple of pages.Īnd it doesn't hurt that i have been blue for a couple of months now, but it also doesn't help that this woman knows how punch you in the heart in a variety of ways with stealth and precision.īecause it's not that bad things happen to the characters. All i did while reading this book is cry.
