A review by curiouslykaylee
The Orange Girl by Jostein Gaarder

4.0

"But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope."

What a perfect book to finish on Valentine's Day!

The Orange Girl is told as a letter from father to son. The son is reading the letter long after his father's death and is adding his own commentary.

I loved this format! Although I would suggested reading this book in one sitting or at least in one day if possible. Because it is one long letter, there were no chapter breaks which made it difficult for me to get back into the story after stopping.

I loved working through the clues of figuring out who the Orange Girl was and why she kept appearing and disappearing.

The Orange Girl is a quick, yet emotional read about how love makes life worth living.
