It's just hard to connect with a character as unusual as Jude, I couldn't really understand her.

I'm sorry to hear that in this book you found it hard to connect to the characters at times and that it left you feeling confused. Hopefully you are correct in saying that the physical copy may come with little pictures and etc to help that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-31161638260358007412014-09-04T21:44:44.579+01:002014-09-04T21:44:44.579+01:00I think the terrible formatting of the eARC didn&#...I think the terrible formatting of the eARC didn't help either, made this a chore to read.

I'm actually really excited for this book, since I wanted to read something by Jandy Nelson but The Sky Is Everywhere isn't necessarily me kind of book. For me to really love a book I need to connect with the characters and it's sad to hear that you didn't. And since I have a short attention span it also worries me that the story needed so long to pick up, especially since it is almost 400 pages. But I'm glad that you enjoyed it in the end and I'm probably going to pick it up some day since the premise still intrigues me.

I like a character I can relate to and Jude doesn't seem that way, so not for me. For a short review (although I think that's a great length) you've really hit plenty of points, so thank you, and well done, it's hard reviewing a book so long after reading it :)Amanda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357839391966441808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-44923214187982791542014-08-31T09:04:03.534+01:002014-08-31T09:04:03.534+01:00Whew.
