All the Little Lights by Jamie McGuire
4.0
I got this book from Netgally and Montlake Romance in exchange of an honest review. Thank you!!
When I first started reading this book, my first thought was "It's not an Adult Romance fiction, than why its labeled (in netgalley) as one??" When I am done with the book my last thought was ,"Its definitely not an Adult Romance!" Its more of an YA mystery romance, which is my most preferred genre <3
The writer seems to be very fluent with her writing and she is definitely an amazing storyteller. I loved how she bought our focus to the fact that "how hard it is on the kids having mentally unstable parents, or simply an always quarrellings one."
Also this book had me thought, is really Bullying is that much vicious in 1st world countries?? These racism?? If so, why is that?? I mean.. Don't get me wrong. I came from a 3rd world country. We might have a ton of problems in our country, but never in once on my life I have seen any students of our school to bully someone else! It was really a small school with around 2000 students? We never bothered with whose parents are rich, who lives in where... all we cared about is she is my classmate, and if we don't finish our homework in time, we both are going to be punished -_- Which is the way IT should be!! SCHOOL of all places is not a place for showing off or making someone feeling low!! What will you do when you are elder???
Anyways.. back to the point, I really loved Elliot and Catherine. They seemed like a breath of fresh air, both with their own set of problems.. But never complaining.. Always looking on the bright side.. Always picking each other up..
"Catherine isn't a name for a princess.
Sounds like a warrior to me."
The story seemed a little dragged in the middle. I know it was a bit necessary for building up the plot twist, but it would have been better if was not dragged that much! And the plot twist had my heart broken in a million pieces!
This story is about first love, young and fresh.. about friendship.. about finding each other against all the odds...
~ He inhaled and then breath out a laugh. "I was sure this whole time I was going to lose you."
A ghost of a smile touched my lips. "But you fought for me anyway."~
Despite of being a little slow in the middle the story was indeed beautiful!
so
4 out 5 stars!! <3
