Winter Town by Stephen Emond
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
"It was hope that was the problem. Hoping feelings wouldn't be hurt, hoping love would blossom, that was painful. But committing yourself to misery, that was just a dead feeling. It was pulling the Band-Aid and embracing the pain."
I loved Winter Town. What compelled me to buy it are the drawings that are part of the story. I found them interesting and actually cute. Upon reading the book , the drawings aren't simply placed there just to be "cute". They deeply connect to the story and its characters, Evan and Lucy.
Simply put, Winter Town is an enjoying read. It tackles about reality. About how it really feels to be seventeen and in love and living with your parents and deciding what to do after high school and generally, what to do with life. Self-discovery. Love. Friendship. Heartbreaks. Giving up. Starting new. Thanks for a heartful of a book, Stephen Emond.
