A review by winemakerssister
On Dublin Street by Samantha Young
2.0
2.5 stars
So, this book is 7.5 years old and I'm afraid my enjoyment of it suffered because of that. I felt like I had read this basic story over and over, dozens of times. Perhaps if I had read it when it was first published, I would've felt differently about it.
I also had a terrible time connecting with Joss. She's so broken, so closed up... yes, a tragic figure but not one I enjoyed reading about.
Cover: A little overly dramatic?
Narrator: She did a nice job with the American and Scottish accents. Her male characters were not great, but it wasn't a big issue.
Hogwarts Sorting Hat: I think they're both Slytherins!
Themes: loss, grief, Edinburgh, Virginia, family
