1. is this really happening?
2. after months has she finally returned better than ever?
3. will she give us more reviews because she finally bought a laptop?
4. is it wrong to use your siblings tooth brush to scrub the dogs butt?
the answers to all of the above are yes. unless the sibling wronged you. then by all means take revenge. HELLOOOOOOOO PEOPLE OF THE WEB! oh how I've missed you all. so I basically haven't had a computer all summer but finally I was able to get one and now I have returned. so the funny thing about books is they all cost like 20$ so I've been living on wattpad..... however I did read this lovely book while i was at camp so we are gonna review it and you are gonna deal with it. so without further stalling and pointless intro I know you don't care about lets begin. the impossible knife of memory by Laurie Halse Anderson is not only great because it saved me from camp quest time when I (the hyper one) needed to be entertained. its great because its funny while still being raw. the story follows the main character Hayley who's dad is a military vet with intense ptsd issues (if that bothers you don't read this) they move around a lot because her dad drives an 18-wheeler. they finally decide to settle down and we get to see it is like for a free range chicken to be crammed into the glorious all American public school system. you would assume it'd be difficult for someone raised learning geography based on their truck roots to suddenly have their face shoved into a textbook. it sounds difficult and it is and Anderson does a great job describing how hard of a time it is for Hayley. Okay so life sucks when your incredibly street smart but now have calculus class to deal with, what next? Finn. the unrealistically attractive genius swimmer. thats what happens next. its kind of like watching a slow motion car accident because you know that two people who both have these inner demons can't possibly have a smooth relationship. the other shoe must fall. so with her dads ptsd acting up Hayley knows its time to move....but what if she finally has a reason to stay?? dun. dun. duhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. so its hilariously written and so many amazing descriptions of characters/situations/etc. it keeps you interested until the very last page. there is a ton of action and drama. overall the characters are well written and not annoying or anything. id stay definitely read this book if you need something to satisfy the "its summer and i can't go out because I'm broke and I need to read because it is an addiction that controls my life and will be the reason I go bankrupt" blues. I'm really happy to be back, request stuff y'all!!!
thanks for reading
