Book Review: A "Can't-Put-It-Down" Kind Of Book
Summary: 5 Stars
What Happened To Lani Garver was a terrific read, suggested by several of my friends. It follows to story of Claire, a cancer surviver, who was taken in by Macy and her group of popular friends, despite missing a part of middle school due to her illness. When a strange newcomer to the island that Claire lives on shows up at school, everyone wonders who Lani (pronounced like the male name Lonny) is, and, most importantly, is he a girl or a boy? The book chronicals the events that led up to Lani's disappearance, which is thought to be just another teen runaway, but Claire knows what happened to Lani Garver.
Thoughout the book, Claire starts leanring more about herself and the types of people that would never exist on her island home. Her life has been filled with twists and turns, such as her cancer, her mom's drinking problems, eating disorders, friends, school, cliques, and the closed mindedness of most of the people around her, and not the least of which is the fact that Lani might be an angel.
What Happened To Lani Garver was a book that had me turning pages all day and night just to figure out the mystery. Though it is clearly fiction (what with it's talk of angels possibly existing), it almost seems more like Claire was a real person who wrote down her story to share with the world. Anyone can read this book, whether you like fiction, fantasy, or non-fiction. It's a great book, and it will forever be one of my favourites.
