Anna Jarzab, AM'07AuthorFrom our pages (Mar–Apr/13): Anna Jarzab's young adult novel follows the story of high school student Caro Mitchell, whose older sister has returned home to Chicagoland unexpectedly after eight years at the Sisters of Grace convent in Indiana. Accustomed to life as a de facto only child, Caro is confused by Hannah's sudden reappearance and stubborn secrecy. But as she learns more about Hannah's past, the sisters' relationship is transformed. NO. Just no.This book is painful to read. The characters are ALL annoying and although I didn't finish this book, I read 70% and it was enough to see it was not worth it.The writing is great and the only reason why I kept reading, the story is just not well thought, with a couple of plot-holes (such as how long Caro's sister was away and WHEN she left, through the story those facts change constantly).I honestly don't recommend this book, although I would give a second chance to Jarzab and read another book written by her...
What do You think about Opposite Of Hallelujah (2013)?
Really well written, with big and small issues given meaningful weight and thoughtful analysis.
