One Jar of Magic por Corey Ann Haydu
When I got this title from a Goodreads recommendation, I didn't realize it was middle-grade. I wonder if I would have liked it more if I'd read it at age 12. I'm just not the target age for this book.
What a gorgeous, gorgeous book. Handles suicide in a fantastic fashion. I was a bit disappointed that Eventown didn't consist solely of a town where everything was in pairs and there were no odd things out, but that's my own fault for getting too excited over a title. Fantastic characters, really fascinating premise, and a great handling of bigger topics.
That was really...intense. I'll be sure to watch my language in future, because even if that is only a somewhat-accurate view of what it's like to live with OCD, I most certainly cannot claim to have it (even hyperbolically). I do know what extreme anxiety is like though, and that was uncannily (and uncomfortably) close to home. I will probably never be able to read this book again, but it was a pretty amazing story. I am super glad that the author didn't end the story on an impossibly optimistic note, with both Bea and Beck miraculously being cured. It was hopeful enough that I felt satisfied, but realistic enough that I wasn't pissed./spoiler> … (mais)
