The Impossible Vastness of Us by Samantha Young
4.0
Now normally I am not about drama, but wow did it work for this book. India gets thrust into a new world, she has some really deep scares and we learn of them and one of them is her mother. Who plucks India from her safe comfy popular world into an “uncontrollable” situation. New home new friends just everything is new.
Her mother is remarrying a man she has never met; she is getting a “stepsister”, a new high school. With all the new comes a lot of challenges and angst.
I can’t believe I am going to say this but I loved the angst I loved the drama. I liked getting to know India and how she was going to react because she never reacted like I thought she was going to.
Secrets play a big part in this book and how they come out.
I like that I thought things were going to go one way and they didn’t. I liked the connection each of these characters has with each other. New friendships are made in the unlikely of places.
This book really kept me guessing and it is probably one of the reason’s the drama and angst worked for me. It didn’t feel like it was put in there just to fill the pages. It was critical to the situation and how they deal with things.
Again the narration was fantastic, I have never not liked any of the narrators Samantha’s books have.
