Dear Edward By Ann Napolitano

Image result for dear edward
                              This book made me cry; so many times we watched Edward go though having a family to losing it all in one moment. It was very heartbreaking to me, but also seeing all the people on the plane, meeting them, and getting to know each one of their stories while all-knowing they will eventually die. 😭I really like Edward's aunt & uncle, they took him in even though they were going through their own trials and tribulations. Desperately wanting a child of their own. Lacey and John went through the tragedy of miscarriage after miscarriage. To then finding out, they may never have a child of their own due to Lacey's health.  

What stuck with me the most and is the biggest take away from reading this book is the bond and formation of relationships outside of your direct family members that can truly help a person rise through the depths of despair. Edward's relationships with Shay and Principal Arundhi are prime examples of the kindest that all of us have inside.  Uniquely, more so was the author's rendition of storytelling. The way she goes from past to present adds a certain "je ne sais quai" to the overall flow of the book, making it fresh and interesting for the mind. I couldn't put the book down! This book is definitely a must-read, one of my favorite books thus far for 2020.

The New Girl vol 1 of elles by Kid Toussain & art by Aveline Stokart

5 star I really liked the way this book tackled the topic of multiple personality disorder. The art style in this graphic novel was stunning it also helped the reader differentiate between all of the different personalities that Elle has throughout this book. There is also a subplot that is a mystery surrounding Elle's family. I can not wait to read the next volume from this series. I am super excited!!!
