books I read

[jade_sabre]

I READ SAVING FRANCESCA.








Also the Demon's Lexicon series and Team Human (which was surprisingly emotional at the climax and had some interesting characterization bits amid an otherwise shallow-but-entertaining read) and The Last Unicorn (which was beautiful and which I need to read in one sitting). I had to return all the others but I'll get them back, and I have Unspoken and The Marriage Plot and Code Verity

but

Saving Francesca

not only reminded me of how wonderfully lucky I have been in love

but also

just

so perfect.

flawless.

wonderful.

tightly plotted and everything is doled out at just the right moment and also it's hilarious and I care so much about all the characters and I'm so happy and

go forth and read it RIGHT NOW.

I don't know what it is that people seem to find off about him. I just find him awkwardly genuine. Which is refreshing in YA fiction. Most of the love for Marchetta's male characters goes to Jonah Griggs from Jellicoe Road and he seems far less realistic to me. I just don't get it. Even in that book he wasn't the boy I fell for.

YES ABOUT THE CARING ABOUT ALL OF THEM. Another reason for you to read The Piper's Son. :) And returning to Will, I can't see how anyone could read both books and not really really love him. He is great in that one in oh so many ways. In fact my favorite scene in that book is a scene between him and Tom.
