See more reviews at YA Midnight ReadsJennifer Brown, where have you been all my life? Torn Away takes the YA genre to the next level. It's predominantly a story about finding hope, which was written in the most realistic and heartbreaking-ly beautiful manner. I found myself crying for the sad and dark sections, but I was also chocking up in the happy parts.We had drills twice a year, every year, in school. We talked about it in class. We talked about it at home. The newscasters reminded us. WeHeart-breaking and tragic, Jersey goes through so much pain and loss that you couldn't blame her at all. Understanding what it means to lose "everything" is something she tries to understand. I can't even imagine having to go through tornado warnings on a daily basis. How terribly frightening. This is a must-read if you're looking for a realistic read.
Jersey's life is flipped upside down, literally, when a massive tornado rips the foundation of her family home in more ways than one. She is left to find a new path in life and with the support (or lack thereof) from complete strangers who happen to be related to her. In this journey, Jersey comes to terms with her life and the role that she has played in it, and before it is all over, she is then introduced to the other side of her family, still strangers to her, and it is there that she makes
You mean I could have lost everything I ever cared about? Bad news, thats already happened. Or do you mean worse like I could have died? Because that would actually have been better. I should have died with them. I wish I had died with them. This book is absolutely gut-wrenching. It has one of the best portrayals of a teenager in a book I've ever come across. There's just no getting around the fact that it was damned depressing, kind of in a "well, my day WAS a ray of sunshine until I read this
#BecRereads2019This is my second time through this book, and this time, I was reading the book with a committee hat on and a set of criteria in mind. But I still enjoyed it just as much as the first time through. It's a good Missouri story about family and overcoming tragedy, written by a Missouri author, which is a double win in my book. Pages: 288PREVIOUS REVIEW: This was such a good read, and I put off reading it for so long. Jennifer Brown is an incredible Missouri author. The first work I
WOW was this book ever not what I thought it would be. It's advertised as tornado! grief! survival! I love natural disaster stories and I love strong female characters and I love gritty emotion and this book PROMISED ME THESE THINGSSSI am angered. Bad writing makes me so very angry. Especially when I buy it in hardcover. This was so. poorly. written. I am mind-blown by how bad the writing was. Agog. I am agog. Every little bit of this was outrageous. The characters; the dialogue (oh God the
Wow, that was devastating and incredible.Jersey looses everything after a Tornado rips through her small town and takes her whole neighbourhood with it. With no idea how her friends are doing, where her family is, and no place to live, Jersey needs to fend for herself and figure out what her next steps will be after all the devastation. This short book packs a huge punch and is full of unexpected emotional abuse (for me). I cried while reading it, and I stayed up pretty late finishing it. I
