A heartbreakingly beautiful book about friendship, family, home, loss, hate and love. I felt like Florine herself, waiting for her mum, trying to go on in life with her dad, hating on Stella, baking with Grand and becoming fond of Bud everytime I lost myself in the pages. Definitely my new favourite book.
This is one of my favourite novels of all times. I read it a couple of times, the first time aged 14. I did like the novel back then, but when I reread it some years later it was as if I discovered it once more in a completely different way. Rereading the book was like meeting old friends, the characters being very vivid and lovable. Florine's descriptions are shamelessly honest but of course often influenced by immaturity or jealousy - which is exactly what makes her character so relatable, because each of us had/have their moments in which we were/are led by emotion instead of reason (let's be honest), and the two do not necessarily correspond. The relatability is probably also the reason why Florine's experiences - loss, joy, hurt - touched me the way they did, tears included. I love this novel and I'll certainly read it again. And again. To the teachers out there: This novel can be read in school very well as it offers lots of possible tasks and discussion topics, as well as a general broadening of the students' horizon. Tasks can focus on the text itself but also use the text as a trigger for further discussion and student production, and I think that a lot of students will enjoy this novel. Learners of English should have an advanced level of language proficiency, B1+ or B2 CEFR.
