I am amazed at the whipping sharp turns that Melissa Kline takes me through as I read her Young Adult debut novel, My Beginning. Just when I had it figured out, something surprising happens--an event that has me mourning for our courageous Ivory, yet her astounding determination has me biting my nails. The characters are vivid and powerful and so believable.
This is a book I can read over again and find it just as exciting as the first!
A note for parents: the love scene depicted is written with innocent passion.
The book sounds great! I have a question: did you put the note to parents? Or did that come from the author? I've been thinking for a while that books should have some kind of "telling" what's inside, similar to movie ratings. A parent can't read every book before their teen does.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review! Sounds lovely and the trailer is really uplifting too! Take care

ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful and I love the art of the cover.
ReplyDeleteI love twists and turn and books that keep me guessing. Thanks for the peek. Have a great day! :)
ReplyDeleteEm, I put that note there and I agree with you. Books don't have anything and I've come across some YA books that had me shocked it was even YA!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, it's a great book!
Sheri, you won't be disappointed! <3
