If You Like This, You'll Like...#2
These books are extremely different but they have one thing in common: A journey. Paper Towns is about young man searching for his missing classmate/neighbor/crush, and I was Here is a about a young lady searching for the truth in her friend's suicide. Paper Towns is a John Green novel, which means it's hilarious, so it's packed with a deep life lesson told in a way a teen could understand it. Gayle Forman, who wrote If I Stay, has a knack for beautifully complicating a simple story.
Both of these books are about how we see people and accepting them as they are, the disappointment we feel when we learn things aren't as we thought. I finished I Was Here at 1:30 in the morning, and I'm probably going to be a brat all day because when I finish a book I have to reflect. Gayle Forman focuses on the impact suicide has on those left behind, and forces us to question our definition of life and bravery. John Green's main character is an intellectual who has to solve a problem that doesn't involve a textbook. He starts out the book being very careful and almost forced to step outside of himself. but by the end of the book he doesn't mind.
If you enjoy characters who become new people and complicated mysteries, you'd enjoy either of these books. You just have to decide whether you feel like laughing or crying.
