I was recently contacted by the lovely Fleur from Wishes And Tea, asking if I wanted to join a Bloggers Book Club with a few other bloggers. For me, reading has always been something that I have got lost in, its given me the opportunity to spend some time by myself and really unwind. So for me this was something that I was really looking forward to doing. Although I was slightly worried that I wasn't going to be able to make any time to actually sit down and read the book.
Each month someone from the book club gets to pick the book. As Fleur started the club she started the club she went ahead and chose the book. The first book to be chosen was Dead Ends by Erin Lange. I hadn't heard of this book before or of Erin Lange, so I was looking forward to reading it.
This is a description of the book that I found online
"Dane Washington and Billy D couldn't be more different. Dane is clever and popular, but he's also a voilet rebel. Billy D has Down's Syndrome, plays by the rules and hands out with the teachers in his lunch break.
But Dane and Billy have more in common than they think - both their fathers are missing. Maybe they'll just have to suck up their differences and get on with helping each other find some answers."
I enjoyed the book. Although it is slightly slow to get into, it is extremely heart warming and relatable. The characters are really realistic and seem like people you would meet in real life. Once the story builds up into the climax of the story, it really captures the audience with a significant event that is extremely realistic.
I feel that this book is perfect for young adults and I would definitely recommend it. You feel so empathetic towards the characters as well as gaining some little life lessons.
I'm giving this book 3 ½ out of 5!
Have you read this book before? What did you think?
Thanks For Reading, Love Abi x
