![]() ![]() ![]() Her mother is there and tells her a story. The one she does remember, a repetitive memory, finds her when she was young and getting ready to fall asleep in her room. Here, we discover the lack of positive memories Emma associates with her mother. She uses tone to set the narrative right from the prologue. ![]() This is yet another testament to Sarah Dessen's classic ability to make you feel with her characters, cheer for their happiness and success, and love their evolution into the character they've always been, if given the chance to shine. While there, she meets new family members, learns more about her mother, and reunites with childhood friends who she can't even recall. However, good girl Emma isn't allowed to stay all by herself, and instead, is sent to spend time with her mother's family who she hasn't seen in years. She's lost her mother, just had her father remarry (she's okay with it), and now she's left behind while they go on their honeymoon. Her newest book, The Rest of the Story, is no exception. Having the opportunity to read one of her stories is like having a present delivered into your hands. She's an author I highly respect, and the only one of YA authors whose books I will buy every time. I love this author so much, and I'm sure you caught on to my regard when I included her in My Favorite Fiction Reads, Top Ten Female Characters, or my Amazon review of her book Once and For All. ![]()
