Every Last Word
By: Tamara Ireland Stone
Genre: YA Realistic Fiction
Pages: 368
Published: 2015
Read: June
4 out of 5
This book is well deserving of a nomination for Teens’ Top Ten
for 2015. Stone was very creative, but factual at the same time with a serious
topic. I would have loved a secret place to hide in high school. I was never
considered an outcast, but was definitely a quieter teen and what teenager couldn’t
use an escape? Sam is the kind of
character you can’t help but feel for and want to befriend. This book would
also lead to great discussions for book clubs, both for teens and adults.
Mental illness is definitely a hot topic for YA fiction novels and can be redundant,
but I feel Stone did thorough research and takes a different angle with this
book. I would highly recommend reading the author notes at the end of book and maybe
even before you start the book. If I had done that I would have read the book
in a little different light.
