The Difference Between You and Me by Madeleine George

3.0

The character voices were incredibly strong, and it's clear that character is one of Madeleine George's strengths as a writer. Jesse, Esther, and Emily have their own particular way of telling their story, and as a reader, I really appreciated how drawn out they were. I loved, too, that there were a few things that I hadn't expected to happen. I wanted to see more with these characters, though. I felt there were holes (and, while I did like that it was there, there was a lot of activism interwoven into the plot, and sometime I felt that everything else got lost in it) and wanted to see everything balanced out and expanded upon. Overall, however, I enjoyed it. The book is definitely honest in its portrayal of how complicated love is, and I found myself hoping that Jesse would find someone who would love her, shouting it to the world.
