I don't read a lot of YA but since I really enjoyed LEAVE ME, I thought I'd give this one a chance. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a wonderful well written book that I couldn't put down until the last page.
The book is about three 19 year olds who meet by accident (literally) in a park in NYC. There is Freya, a singer being groomed for pop stardom who has lost her voice; Harun, a Muslim who is afraid to tell his family that he's gay plus not understanding why his boyfriend has left him and Nathaniel who had a tough childhood living with his father and has run away to NYC. All three feel that they have lost their way in their lives but can they find themselves again through their instant friendship?
This was an interesting book about feeling lost and alone in your life that just doesn't happen in the teen years. I thought it was well written and I think it's time that I read more YA books if this is a good representative of the genre
Thanks to Bookish First for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.
