Review:
This book kicks off an entire trilogy I would find myself engulfed in. I love YA, and despite all the shit I give, I love trilogies. This is just perfection. Tahereh Mafi could be in my top ten list of favorite authors. . . One of my favorite aspects of this book is that the writing is so poetic. I just can't get enough of it. The cross outs, and the thought out phrases, and the metaphors, and similes, it's just. . . I can't. . . It just shoots you in the feels.
I've been shot in the feels.
She shot me in the feels.
And I usually hate books that are repetitive, because, I for one find that shit annoying, and also, I think it sands the writing down, it just takes useless space, and I feel as if i'm losing time while reading. But this is completely different, when restated, the same phrase, over, and over again, it just adds to the artistic value, and while I mean the statement above in a literal way, how it sands the meaning of the novel down, I also mean it in a way that during the duration of the novel, we revisit one thought, or one point over, and over, and over, I feel as if somebody should shoot me.
I never felt that way through this book.
I felt completely content.
Something that stood out to me, aside from the writing style, is the concept. How the touch is lethal, and while the thought isn't that intriguing, the thought isn't that realistic, the way the character, Julliete, dealt with it is. It's like how I would deal with it, and one of the qualities that I love in a novel, is the relations between reader and character, how relatible, and how easy it is to slip into the shoes of the writer.
It was so very easy for me.
And for that, I, Ramo, give the writer a gold star. It's rare to find a book this complete, yet here I am, loving this book into bite sized pieces.
TOOTS.
