You Don't Even Know

Another wonderful novel by Sue Lawson. This book tore at my heart. I loved Alex and the devotion he showed towards his little sister, Mia. I could feel his grief, his loss and his guilt and I wanted to do serious bodily harm to his father and older brother, Ethan, for the way they constantly belittled and humiliated him.

Through alternating chapters the story moves from the hospital to pre-accident. In the hospital chapters, the reader meets Mackie, the girl in the bed next to his own. Although Mackie was unconscious throughout the novel I felt I came to know her along with Alex as he read her scrapbook while keeping her company. It was heartbreaking seeing her list get less adventurous but Mackie provided Alex with an anchor when he desperately needed it.

“You Don’t Even Know” is not a happy read. It was full of raw emotion and I shed tears for Alex and Mackie. A beautiful coming of age story.… (mehr)

Forget Me Not: The Story of One Family's Voyage on… von Sue Lawson

Sue Lawson is a wonderful Australian author. I have had the pleasure of meeting her on a few ocassions at library events and have read many of her books over the years. I am always impressed by her writing. She has the ability to write a captivating novel with very likeable characters and “Forget Me Not” was no exception. I love all things related to the Titanic and was caught up in Evie’s story from the start. A wonderful novel.
