I honestly don't know if a fifteen-year-old girl would react the way she did, which made her unbelievable.In "Chasing Brooklyn", written by the same author, the grief was palpable on every page, but Ava's grief didn't move me the same way. She was quite obsessed with him and her life revolved around him so deeply, that I was worried about her mental state. My biggest concern with this book was Ava's emotional response to her boyfriend. I found him quite creepy, especially when he started throwing temper tantrums when Ava didn't give him the attention he wanted. However, unlike "Ghost" I didn't really like the female character nor the spirit of her dead boyfriend. ![]() It reminded me a little of the movie "Ghost" with Jackson being there for Ava despite his death in a tragic accident. 2.5 starsOnce again Lisa Schroeder has written another quick read about love, grief and moving forward. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this book, Sun Wolf is a successful mercenary captain who refuses a job that is basically a rescue mission.

What if they were “Forget about me?” Do we really know? I wanted something more conclusive. I know what I’m supposed to think the three words were, “I love you.” By I’m a cynic. (SPOILERS FOR THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH) I wanted more from the ending, but that’s not how Rowell writes. In some ways I was happy with it, but in other ways I was disappointed. I kept reading as fast as I could to see if the characters would have the ending I thought they deserved. We’re all a bit red-headed misfit and half-Korean punk. ![]() How does Rowell write characters that are so much like me and every other person who reads her books?

This population growth also occurred at a time when rates of automobile ownership were rising, causing the region to be heavily shaped by the car.
