![]() ![]() ![]() Reading about this kind of pain was too upsetting - at least for me - to enjoy it. When, after the doctors have done more testing, it has been determined that Claire is brain dead, Natalie is left with a person-sized hole in her heart. The older sister, Claire, is in a coma after her accident and the reader is subjected to Natalie’s tormented thoughts about the situation. It is clear that the author is a talented writer - the book is quite well written - but I just did not like the topic that she chose to write about. I was very tempted to stop reading this book shortly after I started it. The story continues on from there about how Natalie deals with Claire’s accident. One evening, Claire goes out with her boyfriend (with the intent to break up with him), and she gets hit by a car. Claire has just graduated from high school and is set to start college in the fall. Natalie is a normal teenager who hangs out with her friends and steals her older sister, Claire’s, clothes. This book mainly takes place over the span of about two weeks. The genre is contemporary (Canadian) fiction. Themes include sisters, families, death, and boyfriends. (You can read other book reviews that I have done here if you really want to.) This book will probably appeal to teens around 15 and up. ![]() I am currently taking a course on library services for young adults in which I have been asked to review 10 books, so I have decided to post my reviews here too. ![]()
