A review by katie_chandler
Now a Major Motion Picture by Cori McCarthy
3.0
“Don’t discount your bravery just because it doesn’t always pay off.”
Best line in the book.
Tolerable description of teen angst episodes. Not that tantrum drama and cliche statements are ever tolerable, but the author openly (though infrequently) pokes at her own literary faux pas and throws in a few moments of real wisdom. On the plus side, this young-love plot takes place internationally... on a movie set... starring an Irish elf (of sorts), and my former teenage self would have swooned thinking of the accented heartthrob. And I like the snarky chapter titles.
On the downside, some language and no one previously that shy becomes unshy in two chapters.
