"You know I love you, Penny Lane?" "Hey, Jude, I love you too"
Penny Lane I initially read thisHey Jude wow, wow, wow. just wow. 4.85 stars <3
"You know I love you, Penny Lane?" "Hey, Jude, I love you too"
Penny Lane I initially read this jokingly thinking I would relate to Penny because we’re both 17, starting our senior year with a little sister named Jude and although Penny is going through so much I could never imagine, I could still really relate to her. Penny is the kind of character you just wanna hug SO BAD. She’s going through so much, but stays in one piece and stay strong for everyone.
"And what about you, Penny Lane?" "What about me? I’m just trying to exist. You know, keep my crap together." "I never said it earlier, but I’m sorry about your sister." "I love her to the ends of the earth." "Then she’s the luckiest person on earth."
I love how on the surface the book is about Jude’s mental health struggles, but really it’s about Penny’s struggle of taking care of her. It was written so beautifully and in a way that just breaks my heart for her.
"You work so fricking hard. And for what? "For you, for mom, for life." "Its all just so exhausting: "I know," I say. But I whisper it. I never want to make her feel like a burden.
Hey Jude Jude struggles with depression and this is the first time, for me, where an author captured what depression is like so beautifully.
"I wouldn't sleep so much if life didn't hurt." "I know." Do you?" "No, not really." "I hope you never know. My everything hurts. I can feel the press of it at all angles. Like I live on a planet all by myself, a heavier planner, with way more gravity. I just want to fly. I want to live on the moon where the gravity is low and I can just soar."
Jude was just such an amazing and interesting character to read about, you never know what’s gonna happen with her. She just, ugh how do I describe it? You can tell that she’s struggling, but she tries so hard to make it hurt less for Penny and it just shatters my heart knowing that people go through this.
It breaks my heart that she might be crashing again. And it scares the crap out of me.
Overall This book was short, but it didn't need any additions. It was so close to being a full five stars for me, except that the love interest was hiding something from Penny and I thought that whole other plot line was unnecessary and very random and took away from the story. Jude and Penny’s relationship was so special and so painfully amazing to read about. I was in tears the whole book and SOBBING at the end. Although the contents are heavy, I definitely recommend <3
"Hey Jude," I say. "Penny Lane," she whispers. I told myself not to cry, but I can't help it. I sink down into the chair beside her bed, put my head down on her arm and sob. I feel her hand on my head then, softly stroking my hair. "She’s in my ears and in my eyes," Jude says, speaking louder over my tears. And I cry even harder because with those words I know that, at least for now, my sister, my everything, is going to be okay.
3.5 ⭐️ I wish I could rate this higher because I really liked the end, but there was so many small flaws that the end didn't quite make up for it. I thi3.5 ⭐️ I wish I could rate this higher because I really liked the end, but there was so many small flaws that the end didn't quite make up for it. I think this is my first YA muslim rep fiction and I feel kinda guilty about my harsh review. But I did enjoy and there were amazing lessons and it was a cute story, but the execution could have been so much better.
Beginning ★★☆☆ Usually I am a huge fan of multiple POV's, but this time I was honestly just confused. Half the time I think I’m reading from Ali's perspective and I’m like HOW DID YOUR MOM COME BACK FROM THE DEAD AND HAVE TWO MORE GROWN UP CHILDREN AND YOUR DAD IS NOW M.I.A.- oh wait, this is amirah... It took some getting used to. I feel like everything at the start was really fast and the author just wanted to get to the drama asap.
Middle ★★☆☆ I felt like there were a lot of details which were added halfway through the book and the beginning wasn't updated. I just found myself confused most of the time. I wish that we got more information on the characters pasts and their backgrounds, but I was left with a lot of unanswered questions.
End ★★★★☆ Okay, now I'm going to stop complaining. Once you get the idea of who the characters are and what they went through, the book got much better (maybe if I reread it I would enjoy it more). The whole love triangle had me stressing while reading and I honestly didn't think it was possible for there to be a love triangle in this book... but I was wrong. The ending honestly brought tears to my eyes and I was really happy.
Amirah I really liked her backstory and how she fell away from Islam and what led her back. She is a really strong character and I enjoyed reading about her, though she did stress me out. I thought it was so cool how her brother is deaf (that sounds weirder than it did in my head) mainly because I am learning ASL and that stuff about art therapy was so interesting
Ali I don’t know he kinda weirded me out at times (especially how he talks, I don't think anyone talks like that...) but I didn't mind him. The way he feels about Amirah is just so sweet. (HOW HE TOLD HER THAT HE WOULD CARRY HER BAGGAGE WAS SO CUTE) I don’t really get why Umar (Ali's brother) was so mad about spending the summer (view spoiler)[I mean I know eventually they were planning to move, but he didn't know that (hide spoiler)]. I would love spending the summer in london. also HOW OLD IS HE?? I MUST KNOW. I wish I knew what his tattoo ment...
Writing style It was a bit childish, but I think the author was really trying to explain all these foreign words to non-muslims so I guess I understand
Overall Although I enjoyed reading a muslim rep book, I couldn't relate as much as I wanted to with the characters. I mean they were talking about marriage and pregnancy by the age of 19 just seemed crazy to me. and the fact that Amirah said that she shouldn't be able to recognize someone of the opposite gender, like I don’t know if she was kidding, but for me, that a bit much.
Also: HOW DOES ONE KISS THEIR TEETH?? I don’t know maybe its a british thing....more

3.5 stars I liked the story, it was definitely very different than anything else i've read and I was pretty satisfied. I just thought that becca was ki3.5 stars I liked the story, it was definitely very different than anything else i've read and I was pretty satisfied. I just thought that becca was kinda confusing and at times it was hard to read her emotions, which is weird because its from her perspective. Becca is very relatable tho in the most non-relatable situations, if that makes sense?? the ending was cute and chaotic but I needed more. like where was the epilogue so I know everything was ok? also I tried hating roy so bad at the start but I just couldnt, I just could not bring myself to do it...more

this book was so good, the whole holes series is just amazing.
and Louis Sachar comes up with the best names. like X-ray (rex) and armpit (theodore) anthis book was so good, the whole holes series is just amazing.
and Louis Sachar comes up with the best names. like X-ray (rex) and armpit (theodore) and of course EL GENIUS, I mean who comes up with this stuff, even Kaira DeLeon. And that plot twist!!! I was not expecting that from el genius, woah... crazy.
I wish the ending was a bit more specific, like I wish there was an end scene between armpit and kaira so you know for sure if she still wants to be with him, I liked the song tho, its stuck in my head... SMALL STEPS, CAUSE WE DONT KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING, IM TAKING SMALL STEPS... it was so cute when armpit started crying.
Also what the heck is tatiana's problem? what a jerk

**spoiler alert** This was the best book yet. (6-4-5-3-1-2) I LOVED IT
Soman is just great, he puts so much detail, you read random things and think its**spoiler alert** This was the best book yet. (6-4-5-3-1-2) I LOVED IT
Soman is just great, he puts so much detail, you read random things and think its nothing but it always comes back. like with kaveen's file in the Living Library and then kaveen comes later, I never would have expected that. I love Merlin, Hort and Reaper so much, they just make the book great. I was crying so much when Hort got shot but of course, Yuba saved the day (I love Yuba too). I am also so happy for Sophie and Hort, although I loved Hicola at first Hophie is better (Nicola started getting on my nerves). I’m so glad that Sophie became a better person in the end, shes growing on me... I think its the dress lol. And I am so proud of tedros for making up his own plan and it actually worked.
I think that this is the most I've ever cried while reading a book but I LOVED IT, it was amazing, I just wish it would show the wedding but that's alright. It was great and I’m so sad its over....more
