I guess this is growing up by Amy L. Orr
4.0
So down to earth
This was written in such a straight forward way, it was hardly a narrative more so a guidance. It was realistic in the simplest of ways, some may regard it as having been depressing. I'd argue it was reflective. There were part which I disagree with, parts I didn't understand, but that I guess is growing up.
It's funny I was part of the crowd who had built up all these ideals of their future selves and their future lives, all trying to out beat the others "my dream is better, I want to travel the whole world when I am older".
This novel symbolises the dreams and crushes them, revealing the true reality. A world you have to face, accept and then love, as you are growing up....
It only fit four stars because I felt it became too 'dragging', I understand by my own philosophy that life itself becomes like that, but that doesn't mean we have to like it immediately....I have not yet grown up.
