A review by amysbookishlife
The List of Real Things by Sarah Moore Fitzgerald

3.0

Although marketed for middle grade, The List of Real Things was a really emotional, heart wrenching read that had me reaching for the tissues once or twice…or maybe more. The story flowed really easily and the writing style was just lovely. It just felt really natural. Also, the magic realism was really exciting and took me on an amazing journey that I didn’t want to come away from. It was a touching read about life, loss, grief and how truly magical the imagination can really be. It really does makes you wonder about what is real and what isn’t and how we truly define reality. Despite being targeted for a younger audience I can see anyone of any age taking something away from this book.
