Syahidahnor Sarimi syahidahnorsarimi — I stumbled upon this novel in advisory and was slightly discouraged when I saw how long it was. But after reading the blurb and a look at the cover, I thought it would be an easy read. As I flipped through the novel, I saw that it was written in journal entries which I thought was very interesting. And from the cover, I got the vibe it was a comedic story, which I don’t usually read. I thought I could give it a try and I really liked it. This novel tells the story of a young boy by the name of John Milton who describes his first year at a boarding school in South Africa, during the apartheid. van de Ruit combines a story of a typical school, a young boy who hasn’t gone through puberty (therefore given the nickname Spud) and social issues in Africa to share a universal story of struggle. His decision to tell the story through journal entries allows for the reader to create a close-knit relationship with John Milton while still understanding everything else that is going on. In reading the story I realized that John’s struggles to fit in and the struggles individuals faced during the apartheid all relate to a bigger picture which is that of struggle. Everyone undergoes some kind of struggle in their life ranging in severity. That was something I could relate to as well as John’s character. John is a witty, outgoing kid who is trying to become cooler by being on good terms with The Crazy Eights (boys in his dorm). I feel as though there have been times where I’ve tried to fit in (middle school) but as I mature, I have learned how to accept my individuality. Although it was a long read, I don’t regret it one bit. This is a truly intriguing novel and anyone who likes an interesting story which intertwines information about the apartheid in Africa, would enjoy it.

Henrry Luis henryns9bd5 — ** spoiler alert ** This is a book I won in a Goodreads giveaway. I am certainly glad I did because I would not have sought out this book on my own. It is a good story about a 2 boys from completly different cultures coming togther and falling in love for the first time. The thing that is so great about this book is that it is written from a 13 year old boys perspective. It shows the coming of age emotions and feelings. I am a grown, straight, white woman, with nothing in common with the main character, yet I relate with the characters experiences and emotions. I apreciate the love and devotion he has to his friend and the tender moments they share. It brought me back to my own experience with my first love as a teen and the inner conflict with craving independence from my parents while still really knowing I was a child.

Angela H angelalahec363 — I did not have very high hopes for this book because I wasn't a huge fan of either Payne or Manny. It was okay. It had a little too much Vishous. I am also not a huge fan of "hospital bed" love books. So overall I liked it because it was a Brotherhood book and JR Ward. It is my favorite....no.
