***Recommended reads for the tough times!Uplifting and beautiful.Regarding the theme it handled, this book came out as nurturing and hopeful. This is the kind of book which makes you feel like you have just met a stranger out of nowhere but you need to know this stranger bit by bit, slow and meaningful. You would wait with all the patience in the entire world for this stranger to open up to you. You will want to make this stranger have his own moments of quiet and bad timings and then open up to...
Deb Caletti's tale of a girl navigating grief and anxiey in the wake of a school trauma by jogging across the United States plods along at an agonizing, slow pace. However, Caletti brings it together in the final chapters, delivering a hard-hitting, emotionally resonant conclusion. Well worth pushing through to cross the finish line. Waiting is tricky, because any sort of empty time in her head fills with you-know-what and you-know-who. She will not say his name. He shouldn't get to have a na...
This review originally appeared on Novel Ink.I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.CONTENT WARNINGS: intimacy, stalking, grief, PTSD, depression, gun violence, murder, death of loved ones, self-harm (pushing oneself past physical boundaries)As a voracious reader, I’ve read many stories over the course of my lifetime that have resonated with me deeply. But books like A Heart in a Body in the World, b...
“Every person is a book with chapters. Some are glorious and some are dark and ugly. Every person survives something.”This story is so beautiful and real and so relevant that it's terrifying. This books is about (view spoiler)[gun violence (hide spoiler)] I'm blocking it out because it's kind of a spoiler, but it's also a trigger warning so I think some people might like to know what it is about going in. But wow this story could not be more relevant right now in America, and I think this is so
Wow, I have a lot to say about this one. I'll either write a review or film one and when I do, I'll post it here. But for now, SLEEP BECKONS.
If you really don't want to know what the traumatic event at the heart of this book involves, don't read this review. There aren't any plot spoilers, and I don't think knowing what you are reading about "ruins" anything, but your mileage may vary.This is a young adult contemporary novel about a girl that decides to run from Seattle to Washington, D.C., primarily as a way to deal with her grief and guilt concerning a traumatic event she experienced not a year before. This book has content warning...
Phenomenal!!! I’m not sure why I started reading this book or how I came across it but I’m so glad I did. The writing was great, the story unique. I wasn’t expecting the “reveal” to be so brutal. A VERY good read indeed!!
I don’t even have words for how vital and heartbreaking and inspiring this book is. This is probably one of the strongest, most well-crafted books I’ve read in such a long time. This was just incredible.
I'm furious. I'm heartbroken. But more than anything else, I'm so grateful that this book exists. One of the best books I've ever read. It's so important to talk about gun violence, and A Heart in a Body in the World did such an incredible job. Forever in awe of it.
Read for O.W.L.s Magical Readathon 2020, Ancient Runes: Heartrune; a book with “Heart” in the title. 5/5 stars I’m not a book-cryer. I’m not much of a cryer of any sort to be honest, although I sometimes wish I was… It has been about 3 years since my last physical book-tears (it was A Monster Calls, for those of you curious). Until today...It’s April 7th 2020. Life is a mess, the world is a mess, but I’m sitting in my windowsill in the late afternoon sun, clutching this book and crying the best
5/5 HOLY FORKING SHIRT STARSInstagram | review on youtube
Actual rating 4.5/5 stars.“Oh, every person is a book with chapters. Some are glorious and some are dark and ugly. Every person survives something.”
“She survived something big, and when you survive something big, you are always, always aware that next time you might not.” I can truly say, with every single ounce of my heart, that this is one of the best books I’ve ever read in my entire life. It’s so quiet, but so loud. It’s so heartbreaking, but so healing. It’s so impactful, it’s so powerful, and it’s completely and utterly unforgettable. I truly recommend this story with my entire soul. A Heart in a Body in the World is now o
*steps out of my house and immediately hears booing*This was just….ok? I always grapple with how to rate books which I think bring up very relevant and timely topics--however much they fail to explore them in a satisfying way--but which don't exactly land on the reader with a sound of impact. A Heart in a Body in the World is such a novel. The plot plods on endlessly and the boredom of it all almost bled my brain front to back. It also felt like the third-person narrative holds the reader at arm...
4.5 stars She can't truly outrun her future, but you can't tell her body that. This is one of the most powerful and important books I’ve read all year. It’s truly one of those books that I think is a must-read for all readers. A Heart in a Body in the World is a story about tragedy, but also, surviving and fighting to overcome tragedy. It’s Annabelle’s story. Annabelle is a high school senior who has suffered something horrific. Her life was changed so drastically and she knows no matter what...
