Book Reviews of Far from You
Book Review: A Suspenseful Surprise
Summary: 5 Stars
Lyrical prose written in verse, FAR FROM YOU is a great follow up to Schroeder's debut novel in verse, I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME.
FAR FROM YOU is a memorable story about Alice, a teen still troubled by the death of her mother several years prior. No one seems to understand why Alice isn't ready to deal with her new step-mother and the excitement of a baby sister on the way--especially her clueless and distracted father.
Alice's music and her boyfriend, Blaze, are the only things she has going for her, so when she and her best friend have a huge fight and stop playing music together and then her family drags her away from Blaze for a Christmas road-trip, things look bleak--but they're about to get even bleaker.
The pages of this book seem to turn themselves as the tale unfolds, moving forward faster and faster through the phenomenal second half. The story is mesmerizing with the constantly heightened tension, bringing a strong climax that will keep the main character squirming and readers transfixed.
The gorgeous language strikes a chord that resonates long after the tale is done.
