These 5 starts may have as much to do with how much of a crush I have on the author as how much I liked the book. ( ) Good memoir about the author discovering her sexuality while at Summer Camp. Simplistic art style which I personally liked a lot. Characters could have been a little more memorable though — I coud tell them apart, but couldn't remember their identities (a bit odd). While sympathetic, I didn't find the main character very likeable, which was pretty refreshing. Could nitpick on a few minor story-telling issues, but there's lots to enjoy. I read this to be sure it didn't violate Missouri HB 2044 (don't get me started...), as it was already in my school library's collection. (I deemed it did not violate the law and placed it back on the shelf). As a 64 year old straight married woman, it didn't appeal much to me, but I can see where it would meet the needs of LGBTQ teens. For the sake of honesty, I confess that I believed some stupid things before I started reading Honor Girl. I started reading Honor Girl under the assumption that my experience reading it would help me understand what it felt like for some of my friends when they first realized they were lesbians or bisexual. But as I fell deeper and deeper into Maggie's story, I realized that there is no difference between falling in love as a straight person and falling in love as a gay person. Love is love, regardless of who it is with and Maggie's love story is beautiful and innocent and so reminiscent of many other first love stories, requited or unrequited, that absolutely anyone who has felt their heart swell to bursting with a crush can relate. Later, after I had finished Honor Girl and come to this great conclusion, I asked my coworker, Hadley, why it was that she had picked it out for me, and while I don't remember the answer, I do remember her surprise at the fact that I enjoyed it as much as I did and that I recommend it frequently to teenagers who come into the store looking for a compelling story that they can relate to; one of first love, heartache, and summer camp. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"Maggie Thrash has spent basically every summer of her fifteen-year-old life at the one-hundred-year-old Camp Bellflower for Girls, set deep in the heart of Appalachia. She's from Atlanta, she's never kissed a guy, she's into Backstreet Boys in a really deep way, and her long summer days are full of a pleasant, peaceful nothing . . . until one confounding moment. A split-second of innocent physical contact pulls Maggie into a gut-twisting love for an older, wiser, and most surprising of all (at least to Maggie), female counselor named Erin. But Camp Bellflower is an impossible place for a girl to fall in love with another girl, and Maggie's savant-like proficiency at the camp's rifle range is the only thing keeping her heart from exploding. When it seems as if Erin maybe feels the same way about Maggie, it's too much for both Maggie and Camp Bellflower to handle, let alone to understand" -- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
