The author’s choice to make the emails realistic by interspersing a few slang terms and abbreviations is uneven and inauthentic (either use “u” or you, but stop having the same character alternate – either spell it out, or don’t! Argh!). Still, the story is engrossing and unpredictable. As an entertaining and lighter subplot, Kayleigh tries to determine her professor’s sign through process of elimination. Friendships develop and are challenged as truths are revealed, and two of the three teens don’t take the project seriously, skewing the results and testing the scientific method Kayleigh is required to follow. Mixing issues of identity and mortality, Hrdlitschka shows that everyone has secrets to hide. She convinces her professor to let her study astrology and asks her fellow online classmates, all Leos, to track their horoscopes and report back to her as to the accuracy of the predictions. Told in emails, journal entries and horoscopes, this story of a group of distance learners helping a ‘net friend with her science project tackles the adage that “on the internet, everyone is a dog.” Fifteen-year-old cancer patient Kayleigh is a Gemini who writes letters to her twin on another plane (one that she isn’t eager to join).

HALF GIRLFRIEND Author CHETAN BHAGAT Publisher RUPA PUBLICATIONS Synopsis Once upon a time there was a Bihari boy called Madhav. The Beauty in Breaking particularly resonated for me because the difficult moment of history we are living through is reflected in so many of the challenging situations that Harper navigates throughout the book. Her stories encourage readers “to learn to distinguish enabling from helping, codependence from love” and “to pay careful and thoughtful attention to the roots of what makes us healthy.” She takes readers through seemingly impossible and inspirational moments, often overlapping, reminding us that all of our lives impact each other and that that can be a cause for hope. In this time that can be so painful, it’s good to be reminded that the challenges we are facing can lead to new beginnings. In the book, Harper, an emergency room doctor, reflects on brokenness as a catalyst for healing through stories about her experiences as a doctor and hospital administrator. The Beauty in Breaking: A Memoir by Michele Harper is exactly the balm I needed at the end of 2020. $27/hardcover $16/paperback (available in July) $13.99/eBook. |
