Before We Were Yours (Maren’s Pick)
Discussion:
Julie- Hated the love story. Hated the Avery political crap. Liked the kids story. Details made me sick to my stomach, so hard to read. Would recommend to certain people. 3/5
Maren- Hated the book till the end. Too much horrible things happening to the kids. Hated Avery’s political and love story. It did keep my interest though. Would recommend. 3.5/5
Meriah- Liked book. Found it somewhat confusing. What would life have been like if they had stayed on the boat? Felt bad for Queenie. Would recommend. 3.5/5
Ali- Intense. Liked it. Needed to know answers. Cried twice while reading. A little bored with Avery’s politics, but liked her sleuthing. Already recommended. 4/5
Jocelyn- Enjoyed the book. Loved the descriptions of the area and the times. Found the Avery tale a little annoying. Loved Rill’s story. A disturbing tale about the cruel nature of humans. Would have enjoyed as non-fiction too. Would recommend. 4/5
Favorite Characters:
Julie- Rill/May and Silas
Maren- Trent
Meriah- Rill/May
Ali- Silas and May
Jocelyn- Rill, Camellia and Zede
“No matter how much we may love the melody of a bygone day or imagine the song of a future one, we must dance within the music of today, or we will always be out of step stumbling around in something that doesn’t suit the moment.”
“In my multifold years of life, I have learned that most people get along as best they can. They don’t intend to hurt anyone. It is merely a terrible by product of surviving.”
