I "figured" it out pretty early on and all the pieces just didn't click together right. It might have been the darling at the conference but i doubt it will be the darling of the award season.Anne@HeadFullofBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069558006454986084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-83314588514205305112015-12-07T06:00:06.804-06:002015-12-07T06:00:06.804-06:00I've read all three of these books and your th...I've read all three of these books and your thoughts pretty much echoed mine, Rummanah. My favourite from the three would be Emmy & Oliver, a book that I only decided to read once I found out it wasn't really a romance novel.

Sounds like you were in the latter group, but I'm glad it was a pretty solid read otherwise. I have Emmy & Oliver on my shelf, I'm hoping to get to it soon!!!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-79959730382204199162015-12-02T14:22:50.210-06:002015-12-02T14:22:50.210-06:00It looks like you are saying the same thing about ...It looks like you are saying the same thing about the first two books as I have seen. Hm... still curious about Everything, Everything despite the head scratching moments. I'm now curious about Emmy and Oliver. I haven't heard much on that one and now I'm curious.<br /><br />Hope you had a wonderful holiday!Melissa (Books and Things)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074452958853212024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-66464635754342667192015-12-02T12:15:28.934-06:002015-12-02T12:15:28.934-06:00Great reviews for all of these!

I'm sorry the hype for the first didn't quite pay off but it sounds like the other two more than made up for it. ;)Kindlemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09084577342034704304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-65609123151170946512015-12-01T17:08:37.133-06:002015-12-01T17:08:37.133-06:00I've been seeing some good things about Emmy &...I've been seeing some good things about Emmy & Oliver, glad it worked for you as well! Looks like it has some interesting psychological aspects to it. Good to hear your thoughts on Everything, Everything as well — it certainly has been getting buzz, but I think those practical concerns would bug me as well (and have me raising my eyebrows in skepticism, lol). danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-40997378297027488392015-12-01T13:30:17.347-06:002015-12-01T13:30:17.347-06:00I just ordered Emmy & Oliver the other day, ev...I just ordered Emmy & Oliver the other day, even though I really don't read that much realistic fiction. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy that one and I'm so glad nothing was downplayed AND that the romance was understated.Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-52502091397502296392015-12-01T12:43:31.535-06:002015-12-01T12:43:31.535-06:00Looks like for the most part these YA contemps wor...Looks like for the most part these YA contemps worked for you, I found I really struggled with them this year. I have only read Everything Everything on your list, and I really liked the romance and the format, but totally agree about the ending.
