And I didn't realize until it came in that it was a YA book...which I tend to try to stay away from. But I absolutely fell in love with this book. I read it in two days and can see picking this up again in a few years and rereading it. Even though the main character was in high school (I think she was a senior), it didn't write like YA at all. The only thing I wish was that it had a little more of the "seeing the future" in it. However, I'm not dinging the book for it. That's just me and I love a little futuristic-ness. But the way she saw all the love stories and how they ended. SPOILER: And then to see the boy she loved and the future that he was going to die. The whole theme of, it's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, is very strong and comes down to that decision in the end, since she knows he's going to die in 10 months (or 8 months), whatever it was. Anyway, just an amazing story. I thought it was going to be a silly little romance and it ended up being so much deeper than that. I really enjoyed the characters and their banter and how she was a little hard on the outside, but soft inside. The characters didn't feel young and didn't read like a YA. So glad I picked this one up! ( ) A charming read. A meet cute at a ballroom dance studio after the main character, Evie gets a brochure leading her to a dance studio and a sudden power to see the history & future of people's relationships when they kiss (compared to the novel Big by her friend Martin). Evie is soured on love after catching her dad cheating on her mom and their subsequent breakup. Her senior year sees her agreeing to a amateur ballroom competition with the warm, handsome X. The romance is lovely, and Evie's emotional journey throughout the book feels heartfelt. This is not a book about dancing & a ballroom Competition. In fact, that’s barely part of the story. Instead it’s about grief and relationships. This is probably a helpful way for the typical YA reader to think about these things but for a grown up like me this was a lesson I already understood and I was disappointed that it wasn’t a happy little romance. Cons: -no thanks to cheating dad redemption though I do like the struggle of Evie’s relationship with him. She truly wants to hate him, but it’s still her dad, y’know. -neutral: Fifi. Hmm, I feel like characters with strong accents show better in film than writing. Eez jest too minny Zee’s fo meeeee en she’s speech. -X and Evie were fine but not swoon-worthy to me. Their relationship felt a little dry and rushed. -none of her friends were memorable Pros +Loved the dancing and the cover +Danica and her revolving roulette of boyfriends +Evie’s struggle with cynicism +X is a decent guy who COMMUNICATES. No brooding, angsty male LI here +Poking fun at romance tropes +The magical realism +The complexities of relationships, and if “I love you” is really forever +The ending and the overall +The acknowledgements that gives the backstory Nicola Yoon is one of my favorite writers, but this one wasn’t for me. I'm not sure that the pacing and plotting went the way I'd want it to, but this was really beautiful. I don't know what Avery was doing with her life before that she managed to take up a 15 hour a week hobby so casually, but that was the hardest belief to suspend. I loved the chapter titles and I loved the various relationships and this is a book I could have really benefited from when I was in high school myself. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML:AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A charming, wholehearted love story that's sure to make readers swoon."??Entertainment Weekly "Nicola Yoon writes from the heart in this beautiful love story."??Good Morning America ??It??s like an emotional gut punch??so beautiful and also heart-wrenching."??US Weekly In this romantic page-turner from the author of Everything, Everything and The Sun is Also a Star, Evie has the power to see other people??s romantic fates??what will happen when she finally sees her own? Evie Thomas doesn't believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually. As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance Studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything??including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he's only just met. Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. If her visions of heartbreak have taught her anything, it's that no one escapes love unscathed. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the e Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
