A Summer to Die by Lois Lowry
5.0
This is the third Lois Lowry book I've read and it's a terrific book. Sad, yes, but absolutely terrific.
I absolutely love Meg's voice and the emotions that shone through beyond the words and the pages. I was going to give it a four and a half stars because it made me awfully sad but I asked myself, why? Why not give it a five stars for making you feel that way? (Because only few books have managed to make me tear up and feel all the feels) And so I gave it a five stars.
I can also relate to Meg in so many levels. Like Meg, I had been completely unaware of what was going on in my family. I only found out when it was already too late. Grief is not a stranger to me.
As with the other two books that I've read by Lowry, I loved the writing style in this one as well. Lowry has become one of my favorite authors simply because of how she tells stories and how she manages to capture emotions in the pages of her book.
If you don't like sad books, do not pick this up. If you're okay with that and would want to appreciate a great book, definitely check this out.
