Sarah is having an existential
crisis. She hasn’t been to school for
several days. Something happened at
school but she doesn’t want to explain to anyone. She feels like nothing is original and
nothing ever happens. Sarah is a
brilliant artist but lately she can’t create anything. During her crisis several different versions
of herself appear, including her 10 year old self, her 23 year old self, and
her 40 year old self. She feels like
she’s going crazy and she can’t talk to her parents or any of her so-called
friends. Her brother left home several
years before and she’s thinking about calling him but isn’t sure how that will
work out either. King is a pretty amazing writer. I’ve really liked almost everything she’s
written and this is no exception. This
is a great book for teens who are trying to make sense of their lives,
especially those who may feel like their lives are out of control.
