I swear upon my copy of the Prisoners of Azkaban that you won’t regret it. Dear readers, I beseech you, if you’ve ever felt this way about a book, Please. I’m here because I think this book is great and I really really want to share its awesomeness with every single bibliophile possible (trust me, I’ve kept it secret long enough). However, I’m not here to harp on the merits and demerits of genre fiction. Chopsticks (and no, it has nothing to do with noodles and Schezuan sauce) does have a romantic element and there may or may not have been deaths and illnesses somewhere in the timeline before the plot takes off, but… why not? Death and illnesses are unavoidable parts of our lives so why should we expect authors to avoid them just for the sake of “originality”? If the plot brings out something new, the storytelling is creative, and the tale touches your heart, shouldn’t we at least give the book a chance?
Just another “Y/A” romance novel, probably involving some serious medical issue and the death of a beloved character, right? To that I answer, NO. You saw the book cover and I know what you’re thinking now. Ending the suspense, I present… Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo CorralĪlright, hold up. However, the book I picked is not an ordinary one, and nor is it any less frustrating (in a good way, I promise!) to read. Realizing how books with prequels, sequels, and three-or-four-or-five-quels sometimes get frustrating to follow due to long waiting periods ( Game of Thrones fans, I’m looking at you), I decided that for today, I’ll share a standalone book with you people instead.
If you’ve been following this column, you already know that two weeks ago, we wrapped up (for now) the reviews for Holly Smale’s Geek Girlseries, because the remaining books are yet to be published.
Hello lovely readers! Once again, I, your friendly neighborhood geek girl, welcome you to this fortnightly Geeky Girls’ Book Blog a.k.a G2B2.
