Subway Girl is a really great book that talks about many things. One, failing out of school and how to create a new life, and two, teenage pregnancies. The two characters both have very strong personalities and the author makes the whole story very emotional and willing to let the reader's imagination soar. In the end, you've learned much about Amy and Simon, so you almost want to cry. Basically, it's a wonderful book and I recommend this to anyone who thinks the cover is quite unassuming, yet the content is surprisingly explicit. Finished reading P.J. Converse’s young adult novel, Subway Girl earlier this week. I thought I enjoyed it, but having waited a few days to review it, I realize my enthusiasm may have passed. Subway Girl is set in Hong Kong, where Simon is a high school student hopelessly infatuated with the mysterious beauty he sees every day on the subway, cleverly called Subway Girl. When he finally gets the nerve to approach her, he realizes his greatest fear, that she only speaks English and he can barely communicate. The motivation to excel in his English, motivates Simon to study harder, get a job, and blow off his other friends. He and Amy share precious moments, some sad and happy, as Amy faces some tough life decisions as a pregnant teen. The book wasn’t bad, it was just OK. Another middle of the road, mediocre read. But at least I felt it was authentic to Hong Kong & Chinese culture!
