A review by lorilaws
Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder

4.0

This is the first book I have read by Schroeder. I had heard so many great things about her books but I was still a little hesitant. How can I connect with the characters in a verse novel? How will their story develop in such a sort book? All of my hesitations were completely unjustified. I realized that after just a few pages.

I connected with the characters very well. I felt their pain. Their fear and their joy. Lisa Schroeder definitely has a way with words. She may not use many of them but they are written so beautifully that you can't help feeling every one. The story alternated between Brooklyn and Nico and their struggles with their own personal ghosts.

At times this book was a little creepy. The ghost aspect is something I love. Seeing as I'm a strong believer in ghosts myself. This book is definitely not to be missed. I will be reading Schroeder's other books as soon as possible.
