There appears to be a growing group of writers in that mould that I’m now stumbling across, and all the better for it.

And then I read Harrington’s ‘Saving June’ (review to come), which absolutely blew my socks off, and made me re-evaluate and widen that original proclamation somewhat. On reading ‘Amy and Roger’s Epic Detour’, I decided that Morgan Matson was my new Sarah Dessen (see appropriately previous post). In overall, the book is awesome, I would recommend it to everyone. I am so happy to see Chelsea learned a lesson, and became a better, wiser person. I loved it.Īnd aI loved, loved her plan to take revenge on Lowell and Derek. I am so glad Chelsea found new friends (and a boyfriend), friends who like her for who she is, respect her and help her. Gays are people to, you know? They just love someone from the same sex, instead of another. I also disliked the gay hate, and that people got beaten up because they are gay. Making Chelsea the scapegoat for everything, turning her role into something gold and pure, like it wasn't her fault at all. Always hurting people, not caring about destroying people if they are in the way of your perfect little li(f)e. I really disliked Kristen and her 'friends'. Especially since she keeps to her vow, she never says anything, no matter the situation, no matter how she bullied. But after all that happened, and her decision of taking a vow of silence, I started to like her. That she kinda of caused, though she didn't know what the consequences were.Ĭhelsea was a good character, though I didn't really like her in the beginning, I found her untrustworthy, a puppet, blabbermouth. I loved the idea, a girl who can't stop blurting out everything that she sees or hears takes a vow of silence after something horrible happens.
