Wren struggles daily to escape the dark cloud called abandonment. First her mother physically, then her father emotionally and finally, her sister who runs away. The story follows her as she tries to find a friend, finds two, one clingy and ill, the other having possibility of more than friendship. It's family-messy, painful and the surprises for Wren are more on the bleak and disappointing side than the hopeful one. Well written and will spark something in many hurting teens. ( ) *Book received through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review* This book was honestly just very confusing. It was very difficult to figure out what was real and what was a figment of Wren's imagination. I had trouble following along with Wren's thought processes and I'm really not sure what the purpose of some characters was. Overall, it wasn't terrible but it really wasn't good either. The writing style was not for me. no reviews | add a review
Everyone eventually leaves Wren Plumley. First it was her mother, then her best friend, and then her sister. Now living with only her cop father and her upended dreams, Wren feels stranded, like a songbird falling in a storm. When Wilder, a sickly housebound teen, moves in next door, Wren finally finds what she's always wanted--a person who can't leave. But a chance meeting with Luca, the talkative, crush-worthy boy in her driver's ed class, has Wren wondering if maybe she's too quick to push people away. Soon, Wren finds herself caught between the safety of a friendship and a love worth fighting for. Wren starts to dream again. But when postcards begin arriving from her sister, Wren must ultimately confront why her mother left fourteen years before and why her sister followed in her footsteps. For her new life to take flight, Wren will have to reconcile the heartbreaking beauty of lost dreams and the beautiful heartbreak of her new reality. No library descriptions found. |
