Another year of Smackdown reaches its inevitable conclusion and
as usual I’m in a muddle as to my favourite book! I’ve just competed Far From the Tree
and I loved the characters and the way the author investigates adoption and
fostering through so many different lens.
Looking back. I loved Darius the Great and I felt it
didn’t fall into that woe-be-gone victim mentality that so many YA books do
with way too much teenage angst, despite the fact that the protagonist had lots
of reasons to feel sorry for himself!
And I so enjoyed Poet X. Truth
be told, Nevermoor did not do a lot for me as I found the story
unbelievable and the characters undeveloped.
If I had my druthers, I’d be voting for I Ride,
because that book just grabbed me and took me for a delightful ride. I wanted to ride that Amtrack train and be a
mom to that wonderful girl. But that
book is not to be, was smacked right off the table.
So it came down, for me at least, to a very tight choice
between the last three. Far From the Tree is my winner.
