Lovely War by Julie Berry
5.0
BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I’VE READ THIS MONTH!!!!
The author clearly did her research and I truly commend her for that!!! The book is outstanding in itself and for someone who don’t usually gravitate into reading YA books, this one outdid itself! I adored James and Hazel’s story, and as well as Aubrey and Colette’s. I think it helped that the author organized the parts so beautifully, compartmentalizing then into different subtopics and I believe that’s one of the many factors that have affected my reading experience for this one in a good way. Music played a big part in this story, the kind of art ready to sweep the characters off their feet, and incorporating jazz into the storyline made it even more beautiful and gracious. The tragedy that each of the characters, by way of Aphrodite’s storytelling, went through such great lengths in order to combat despair but still rose from the heavy tragedies they were part of, signifies that hope is a beautiful thing and one of the best asset that the author wanted to reach out towards its audience. I enjoyed the storytelling of the Greek Gods, the humor they put into it, and GAAAHHH, THIS BOOK IS BEYOND BEAUTIFUL I WANNA CRY!!! In fact I did, I couldn’t hold back the tears in James and Hazel’s part when a ring was in the way!!! The writing is definitely superb and this book took me to places I never thought it would.
Lovely War is a story about hope. Holding on to something you care about. Lovely War proves that sometimes, believing is all you need and from there, you ought to figure things out. Kudos to the author for having written a magnificent book!
