A review by daisey
Solo by Mary Rand Hess, Kwame Alexander

3.0

I thought [b:The Crossover|18263725|The Crossover|Kwame Alexander|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1390427593s/18263725.jpg|25723388] was fantastic and was excited to read this book by Kwame Alexander. I did enjoy this one, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I loved the musical aspects and appreciated the writing style that used a mix of content in verse to provide the details of the story, from narration, to text messages, to song lyrics, to dreams. However, this story was just a little too all over the place for me. There were so many things creating conflict and leading in different directions so that the pieces did not come together to feel complete at the end of the book. I would recommend this book for teenage readers with an interest in novels in verse and music.

*I received an electronic copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review.
