Sweet story, if a little bit of a stretch.

I can see why this book won the awards it did. A good YA read that has a way of worming into your brain. Part funny part serious, overall an excellent read I would recommend to anyone.

4.5 ⭐This book is beautiful. This is a book for a non-biological child. Reiterating that while they may not have been birthed but they were wanted, waited for, and anxious to be met in the world. The illustrations are lovely they go right with the story, and this is sure to be one kids will read and parents will read to their children for years if not generations to come.

3 ⭐ This book is fine. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike and while the story does rhyme and does have a cadence, that cadence is soft in areas. The story‘s about how everyone‘s different and that is perfectly OK because everyone is who they were made to be. I like the message in this book and overall it works well. But to me it‘s only so so.

5 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ This book starts with a child asking their parent to tell them about the night they were born. it goes through the child being born and picked up and how special it was because the child is adopted. This helps normalize adoption. It‘s not a scary thing, it‘s what it is, and it‘s its own special view of how you came into the world. There are fabulous illustrations, and this is a forever classic by Jayme Lee Curtis.

DeWitt's debut was grim and grotty.

If you like books where people take lots of drugs and alcohol and poop themselves - and you've already read Trainspotting - then this might be for you, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.

Reasonable writing, but no redeemable characters and written in the second person, which should never be attempted.

Read his other stuff instead.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

A good #CrazyLove quote:

“I didn't want the easy kind of love, I wanted the crazy love, the kind of love that created and destroyed all at the same time.”

I haven‘t read this book but I have read a couple of others from this author.

This book!!!! My high school self buried the emotional trauma of the ending and my adult self is considering reburying it.

John Marsden had such an ability to capture teenagers (some of the language is a bit dated - I‘m still chuckling at fair dinkum) - the highs and lows of being young and figuring stuff out.

I‘ll be thinking about Trace & Mandy for awhile.

Buddy read with @Rissreadswithcats - hope I didn‘t leave you too many messages 😅

Rissreadswithcats I‘m excited to read them! Sorry, but I got this on my kindle and started the book and then misplaced it (the kindle) I‘ll keep going tonight. I‘m not being a very good buddy am I! 🤣 4d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats, oh no - did the kindle turn up? I hate it when I can‘t find mine. Ok! You say that now 🤣 I have a tendency to yap. 4d
Rissreadswithcats Yes , I found it in a box of crap in my room under some clean clothes! All good. I‘ll try to finish it by the weekend. 4d

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Rissreadswithcats, under clean clothes! Classic hiding spot that 😉 no rush! 4d
Cuilin I haven‘t heard fair dinkum since an episode of Home and Away in the late 80‘s. I watched from Ireland. (edited) 3d
willaful Oh, I hear you! Absolutely wrecked me! 3d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @willaful, in my mind the ending was more clear cut - the actual ending was so much more devastating. 3d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Cuilin, ahh yes! Home and Away - one of our great exports 🤣 (it‘s where Chris Hemsworth, Isla Fisher, Naomi Watts and Heath Ledger got their start!) 3d
Cuilin @thegirlwiththelibrarybag we got a lot of Australian TV in Ireland, from Skippy, The Sullivans, A Country Practice, to Neighbours. I‘m sure there‘s others I‘m forgetting. 2d
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Cuilin, the classics!!! 🇦🇺 always interesting to hear what shows get shown overseas. 2d
