Your words affect other people. And you can get affected by others. But, what if that wasn't true. What if you were just "nix?" Jennifer Lynn Barnes gives you a point of view of what it might be like to be a nobody. Or, even worse, to be this and grow up having no idea. Claire and Nix, two kids who have never been noticed, are trying to do the right thing. To a world that has never done the same to them. So, I think that is pretty brave. I think the best part is how the two describe each other. They scream with emotion at the feeling of finally being seen. The plot could move faster and it wouldn't receive 5 stars, but I enjoyed the read because it made me think. Still, I will say the ending caught me by surprise, a little unexpected to be anything but anti-climatic. To end on a positive note: A+ for being the sweetest thing.

Time. It's a funny thing. And what if you are lead to believe that you are crazy all of your life because you see dead people. But, what if it's because you somehow have a connection to the past? Myra McEntire makes your brain hurt. What if one event could change everything? But, you are allowed to change too much? Emerson has been through a lot. I mean, at one of her brother's events she saw a whole jazz trio playing around a piano. That no one else saw, and that was expected because they weren't really there, right? But, Michael did. And then he crashed her world. Nothing made sense anymore. Except Michael, of course. Physics crashed with stretches and some philosophy. Untapped potential in a romance. Mixed strings of purpose and maybe fate. What is really set in stone? You may know the author from her first book, Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, Becky Albertalli Renamed when made in a recent movie dubbed: "Love, Simon." I've decided that I like her writing. She gives you characters with a wide range of personalities and relationships between them. Meet Molly, a girl who has had 26 crushes that never went anywhere, who has a twin sister that is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Cassie is no rookie to dating, but Mina throws her world. Molly's house is getting a bit thrown around, with same-sex marriage legalized, her moms are getting married. And growing up is wanting to push the twins apart. Busy much? It reminds you that young love is hard. And complicated. And messy. And really freaking beautiful. |
