Sweetie von Kathryn Magendie
This was an amazing story of friendship and love. The characters seemed so alive and real, and the setting was so vividly described, it was just as much a character as any of the people in the story. I feel bad basically just writing, "It was really, really good" but I don't know quite how to describe this novel and all the reasons I loved it.
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Initially drawn to the book because of its premise - small-town girl from Appalachia is a synesthete with a supernatural connection to lightning - I gave up at nearly halfway through because other than that, little happened.
I found the protagonist and the other characters - especially her neighbor - really charming and could connect to her in a lot of ways. A little neurotic, labeled as eccentric and crazy by those around her, her voice was amazingly well-written (except for the constant repetition of words). But there was no forward movement of the plot - other than several lust-soaked inner diatribes, there was nothing going on, and at halfway through the novel I just wanted our heroine to freaking get laid already so we could get on with the story.
I have the feeling this could have been amazing - I want to know what happens. The plot is probably fascinating, and the writing is pretty. But there isn't much in the way of action, tension (other than the repetitive sexual tension), or character development, which ultimately disappointed.… (mehr)

Melissa is a child who copes with frequent moves and unhappy parents by eating and keeping her head down. This story of the summer she meets Sweetie and learns how to take her life into her own hands is a good one. There are a number of themes that are suggested in the novel, but one of my complaints would be that they don't get carried through to fulfillment, just hinted at.
