A review by cxdenci
Blackbird Fly by Erin Entrada Kelly
4.0
4.5 stars!
This story was a fresh, lighthearted read. However, for me, the best part of the book was its protagonist, Apple/Analyn. I relate to her so much as a person because I am a full-blooded Filipino, a huge Beatles fan who plays guitar and someone who is still trying to find her own personality.
The plot is actually quite interesting no matter the amount of clichè in it. I almost finished the entire book in one sitting.
Children, teens and maybe even adults would love this book. The prose is simple yet refreshing. Some characters are real clichès such as love-to-hate characters and mean-white-girl characters. But that is typical in children's books/YA.
Overall, a fun and meaningful read for any age. I love it. (And Apple? I relate. I love George too.)
