[fiction] Would you

By: Marthe Jocelyn

Would you is a kind of slice-of-life book. Life isn't all serious, all sad, it's funny, it's weird.. it's dramatic and honestly; it has no end unless life itself ends. So the ending of this book -- may not be those weird award winning powerful ones, but honestly anything else would make this book a little indifferent. I loved how it was real. Most of all I'm loving how the cover relates to what our main character Nat realizes in the end.

Published in 2008! Yay. Even if the year is coming to an end haha.

Anyways, this book is about a girl named Nat overcoming an accident her sister, Claire was caught up in and because of it; we see how it affects her. (Ah not to worry there's much more drama caught up in there).

I loved how the book was seperated in days, showing how quickly life can suddenly be ruined and changed-- how flexible but fragile life is. I liked how the philosophy with hope being pointless and such at the end was there. It was a nice touch. Also; the well titled maybe a little personally reflective titles of the little sections made you cry, made you laugh, made you just smile and say "haha Nat you dummy.". Remember, it was slice-of-life. So of course it affected me a little.

:). I love realism. It's the beauty in writing. Even in fantasy realism is there. Because without some charecteristic or even a love interest thing; we can't really relate to what's going on. Maybe it's why we always believe that our favourite alien extraterrstrials .. ah nvm lmao.

I read this to sleep too.

Mark: 9.5/10

Now it got a 9.5 because honestly. it was awesome. But not awesome enough :(. Sorry Marthe lol.
