He starts trying to act ‘normal’ like his parents want him to and fit in with the classmates at his new school but word soon gets around what happened before his family moved and a group of boys his age start mercilessly tormenting him. The main character, Logan, is thirteen years old and just moved to a new area because of something traumatic that happened that turned a lot of the people in his community against him. I think that sense of suspense is part of what made the experience of reading this book meaningful for me. The author does a great job of keeping the reader wondering and building suspense right up until the book’s second half. The first thing I want to say about This is What I Did is, DO NOT go looking it up on the internet and get spoilers. Book Review: The End or Something Like That by Ann.Wow, this book really exceeded my expectations.Book Review: 36 Questions That Changed My Mind Abo.The Great American Reads: FINAL RESULTS.Book Review: Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak.I'm glad I remembered I had this one sitting around waiting to be read! It's heartbreaking.Īnd yet, told in such a cute and funny way. How she misses her friend so bad and wants to talk to her again so bad, and yet she needs to move on with her life. And in the process we bond instantly with these characters, especially Emmy and her dilemma.

The writing style is totally up my alley and is a style I wish I could learn how to do. It sounds a little weird, yeah? But I loved it.

We learn that they take classes from a bogus dude who claims to know how to help people communicate with their dead loved ones. We learn about Emmy's insecurities and fears. and we learn all about Kim and the friendship these two have and the plans they make in the face of Kim's death from congenital heart disease. In the meantime, we bounce from this present day stress to the years before. So Emmy is upset and trying to figure out what she has done wrong and why Kim won't show herself. So all that year, Emmy tried to do all the things they'd planned but Kim never came back to visit her. Before she died, Kim told Emmy that she planned to come back and visit her so to be prepared. so I guess it could go either way yes?Īnyway, it's been a year since our girl Emmy's best friend died. I can't really decide if this book is categorized as a YA or an MG. Book: The End or Something Like That by Ann Dee Ellis
