I am not sure why I read Belzhar. One night I just felt like picking it up so I did. I had liked but wasn’t crazy about Meg’s adult book The Interstings but I read this book in one sitting. It really spoke to me and I kept finding myself wanting more of it. I am not a huge Sylvia Plath fan one way or another and maybe because of that my expectations were low.
So, for me, it was enjoyable all the way.
And this book, too, had a bit of twist but in this case it didn’t bother me at all for some reason. It wasn’t as extreme, maybe that’s why.
I really enjoyed this book, too. I liked the twist – it was just enough to be interesting but not so big as to be just a twist for twist’s sake.
Thanks for the book recommendation — the plot device with the journals sounds like a neat concept.
