Simple Twists of Faith (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

ABNA SEMI-FINALIST PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW "The characters in this novel are expertly rendered -- from manipulative Jeffrey to delusional Emma and meddling gossip Fay Brodie. The plot is engaging and keeps the reader wondering what the end result will be." ABNA EXPERT REVIEWS "The story concept is quite original and not something that's regularly addressed in young adult literature." "Very interesting and fills a gap in the literature." ABNA READER REVIEWS "Emma's voice is equal parts angsty and sweet....I loved the emotion of the prose, subtle though unmistakable." (Alexandra Davidoff, Canada) "I loved this. Few girls have never had a crush on an older man before, and [the first chapter] captured Emma's innocent excitement over her very real crush so perfectly....Her feelings of exhilaration over the prospect of a simple look or fleeting touch felt so real that you can't help but get caught up in her enthusiasm, and want the forbidden relationship with the same passion she does." (Stiggles, Southern California) "We join the narrator in church and in love...[sic] with the minister. The first few paragraphs set the story up, sort of 'This is how I feel about Jeffrey.' It works and I was intrigued." (Peter E. McGinn, Maine and Florida, USA)
