Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder
3.0
This book is told in verse form. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And Lisa Schroeder worked the verse form so well, that it took me breath away.
It is both sad and beautiful! It's about loss and sorrow - love and hope!
This is now my favorite Lisa Schroeder book. It descripes the feelings of loss, sorrow and love so well and so compact, that you get a lot out of small verses. You get to know the characters so well, even though there are not many words. And you feel so much compasion for them, like they were actually real people. I think that if I lost someone I loved - this book would have my feelings written down flawlessly.
I read it in two hours, but even though it is a fast book, you can't help but linger at the story for a long time afterwards :) <3333
