What do I do after reading a book that left me emotionally wrecked? Read another book that has also left me emotionally wrecked. Good job, Joss. For such a short book it packs punch. So so very beautiful.Jacqueline Woodson never fails to amaze me. This book was only 180 pages and I felt so attached to the two main characters. Shes able to evoke such emotion. So elegant and so heartbreaking. This book left me in tears.
this may have been written 20 years ago, but it could have been published just yesterday.literally an actual work of art that left me with so many little feels.I think the greatest part of this story is the simplicity--you don't need 300 pages to understand the struggles of interracial relationships and young love. definitely fell in love. thank you, jacqueline woodson.
It's crazy how a book published in 1998 is still relevant in 2018, 20 years later. This book doesn't feel that dated - maybe the lack of cell phones or the use of a house phone makes it a little dated - but the theme is still relevant in today's world. A black boy dating a white, Jewish girl - something frowned upon by society. Maybe in todays New York City (where the story takes place) an interracial couple wouldn't get weird glances, but in other parts of the country, its still relevant even
this broke my heart, i am glad i listened to the audiobook it was beautiful
if you come softlyas the wind within the tressyou may hear what i hearsee what sorrow sees...and if you come i will be silentnor speak harsh words to youi will not ask you why, now.or how, or what you do.we shall sit here softlybeneath two different yearsand the rich earth between usshall drink our tears.-177bi-racial city romance.lyrical, simple, sweet, and as such, heartbreaking.
