CM Magazine, which is published by the Manitoba Library association, posted a review of Break On Through this morning.
This one is interesting because although the reviewer gave the book a “Highly Recommended” rating, she doesn’t like its protagonist!
“Nadine is never entirely likeable and retains an edge which can be cutting and sometimes downright rude…. Readers may never quite like or even understand Nadine, but her strength and willpower are admirable.”
Nadine would agree that no one understands her, and she doesn’t need to be liked. It’s bad enough that I like her and these annoying Rivercrest people keep wanting to hang out with her. You can read her story, but that doesn’t mean that you get it.
Here is a link to Will Smith’s Parents Just Don’t Understand, on iTunes.
