Oh man...I just gave Falling Into Place away on the blog! Wish I had read it first. ;)

I finally read this, and thought it was pretty strong.

Has anyone else read this yet? I really loved the character development in this one.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this. I feel it was entrusted with a really good editor, as the author hints about what a mess her notes and journal were, and what it became. I'm glad it was given a respectful treatment and was able to give her story the shine it deserves. Printz worthy? I'm not sure.

I enjoyed reading this, but I think the structure of it weakened it somehow. Not high on my Printz list, but definitely a must read for anyone wants to continue to grow their compassion for teens and humanity in general.

This certainly isn't like anything else I've read. Somehow I was disappointed, but I'm not sure why. I'd really enjoy and in-depth discussion of this one.
