Finding Yvonne
Review:
This was a very moving book, but it is not my favorite style. Sometimes these are just a little too hard to read because of all the bad or challenging things that happen to the characters, but I almost felt blindsided in this one. I thought it was an upbeat coming-of-age story, but the main character ended up getting pregnant with what could be two different men’s babies. I thought her decisions were questionable, but I didn’t want to judge, so I understand why it happened. She also ended up getting an abortion, which was tough to go through. Some of the uncertainty about the future hit close to home and actually made me feel worse about my problems with that. This was not the book I expected, but it had excellent writing and an interesting story. I can only read books like this in small doses because of the heavy topics, so I think I will be reading a romance novel next. This is not a book I would recommend to someone trying to have an upbeat read, but it was still a very good book.
