Kira-Kira by Cynthia Kadohata
5.0
Kira-Kira opened my eyes and my mind to believe more strongly that no matter what happens in life, no matter how hard it gets to live, there is always a silver lining behind every cloud
I finished this book within 2 days. I could not put the book down, I was so hooked. It was a beautiful, compact, simple and heartbreaking story but it gave hope to the readers at the end. I could not keep the book down, it was that engrossing for me. I loved the narration, the style the plot and Lynn!
My respect for Lynn grew as i read every line of the book,in the end, I became as sad as Katie about her death. Lynn showed me a new way to see the world, a new way to see everyday things in a much more positive way, and after her death, Katie took the lead. She taught me that even if you're really sad and struggling, you have to "steel yourself to a lot of things". I love the courage and the change she got into after her sister passed away; I felt sad for her, but I saw that she has grown stronger and she can now help her family to move on without having Lynn to help her out anymore.
Lynn is a very significant part if the Takeshima family. Her thoughts, her ideas, her reasonings, her way of seeing the world and loving it is very admirable and respectable. If only we had people like Lynn then the world truly would have been a better place to live. She is cheerful, loves her sister, friends and family and she truly is a genius . It's because of Lynn taht Katie understood that seeing the world in a "kira-kira" way is really important and that changes the whole way of how you live! It's a type of magic that's inside us!
I cannot describe in words how much I have enjoyed this book by Cynthia Kadohata I would like to thank my best friend for letting me borrow her book to read it; I understand why this book is still one of her favorites! And now, it's mine!
