I love that you say Paige is so hopeful and, well, positive- hehe, about everything and that even though the book is so serious, that it still feels kind of light. <br /><br />It sounds like an important read and I agree with you that people tend to fear the unknown. It's a shame. <br /><br />Really excellent review. And thanks for giving me some new insight into a book that I would have otherwise passed up. <br /><br />Michelle @ <a href="http://bookbriefs.net" rel="nofollow">Book Briefs</a>Michelle@Book Briefshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396998660831897334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-69397437638400370242015-01-26T14:17:54.339-05:002015-01-26T14:17:54.339-05:00This is the first I'm hearing of this one - de...This is the first I'm hearing of this one - definitely sounds like much more serious subject matter than I'm used to... but I appreciate that it's actually quite hopeful despite all the crap. I'm not sure I could bear it if it weren't hopeful. But as it is, this one would be a really great one for me to read as part of my "going outside my comfort zone" reading.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-64224339269567801602015-01-25T19:04:41.435-05:002015-01-25T19:04:41.435-05:00I've seen this one around and it looks like it...I've seen this one around and it looks like it would be a good read for a parent/teen reading group, as well.<br /><br />Kate @ <a href="http://exlibriskate.com/" rel="nofollow">Ex Libris</a>Kate @ Ex Librishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16161681565485372950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-31516231242018060802015-01-23T11:16:44.091-05:002015-01-23T11:16:44.091-05:00The poor girl -- but good on her for keeping a pos...The poor girl -- but good on her for keeping a positive attitude and being a bright light in the world!Mary @ BookSwarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-67852756024800990772015-01-23T09:46:02.082-05:002015-01-23T09:46:02.082-05:00Whoops!
