WHAT A BOOK!
I am at a loss for words when it comes to describing the power with words that Cher Gatto wields in this book. I went into this book thinking it might be a difficult read because of the subject matter, but Cher Gatto lays it out in a way that is easy to understand and deeply profound at the same time. Throughout the book, she constantly displays the message of grace and salvation to everyone regardless of life circumstances. From the characters that were layered to the even pace and plot twists, this story has something deeply compelling that needs to be read by everyone.
A heart moving book that is marketed as Young Adult but is for everyone regardless of age, it moved my heart and emotions like very few books do.
I truly loved this book and Highly Recommend it. 5 out of 5 stars for the great character growth, the deep issues covered, and for displaying the gospel so readily.
*I volunteered to read this book in return for my honest feedback. The thoughts and opinions expressed within are my own.

You know those books that you don't only read, the ones that you inhale and absorb, this is one if those books.
It's been a little while since I read a young adult book so he fact that the language was so simple and there wasn't any imagery and metaphors really put me off at the start but as soon as the story got going I was HOOKED.
I'm a sucker for character development and getting to delve into the innermost thoughts of the four main characters and learning how they think and how they react, and slowly unravelling the secrets that they keep was such a thrill.
The plot could have been weak and if stop be praising how much I relate to all the characters even in a small way but that's not just it. The story flowed so well, even with the jumps of perspective they just left you hanging and wanting to read more, I never wanted this book to end.
This little world has become so special to me in such a short amount of time that this story and these characters will stay with me long into the future.

A textbook example of how to have a lot going for you and still show a flagrant disregard for the intelligence of your audience. On paper the grown up cast, representing the gang of kids from the first movie 27 years later, is stellar. But after several back to back scenes of exposition, catch-up and backstory nonsense, even the likes of James McAvoy and Jessica Chastain have lost the will to live (as actors, their characters just won’t fucking die). This film is almost 3 hours long! And I just can’t explain why anyone thought that was necessary. It isn’t as if it is super complicated. It is basically a repetition of hide and seek jump scares painted large in awful CGI over and over again, whilst the “plot” gets more and more lost and we care less and less about the adult kids by the minute. I guess, like the first one, it is almost watchable if you don’t want to think too deeply and don’t mind watching every horror cliche ever rehashed ad nauseum. The end is bonkers too, by the way. Minor cult status, but that is… it.
