We’re taking a huge leap, about 150 pages, which holds a HUGE amount of drama – and some good old fashion tension (partly of the sexual kind).
Natasha begins to develop hope, but that is met with a few realizations, particularly with Daniel’s family, which could kill things like a relaxer.
Natasha finds herself stalked by Daniel, yeah it’s one of those books, but he might just be growing on her.
We begin The Sun Is Also A Star, learning about our leads and their families, alongside random people who’ll likely be cut from the movie.
It has been roughly a year since the events of the first book and now Leah is in the spotlight. Which may not be awkward for you but it is kind of awkward for her.
Wonder ends with a bit of a teary eyed moment but as a whole definitely is a one and done type of book.
As we come closer and closer to the movie adaptation’s release date, so comes the question if those covered below will have their stories diminished to give Jacob Tremblay the focus he needs for his assumed Oscar nomination.
Wonder’s trailer, similar to A Dog’s Purpose before that was released, has consistently made me bawl. So, to build up some strength before the movie, I got the book and while, as of page 43, my Puffs tissues remain untouched, I do feel like I’m being setup.
It’s the end! Not just of the book but also for Troy and Janet’s relationship for Aaron has become a consistent force in her life so Troy really has no place in it. Despite his attempts to win her back.
Just as Janet’s professional life is just consistently reaching new highs, her personal life seems to remain at an all time low – in terms of Troy.
Part 2 begins with Janet alone in New York, a bit frustrated, and maybe overpowered by this feeling of isolation, but what is greatness without a bit of adversity?
It seems to be the beginning of the end for Troy and Janet. Especially as she comes to terms with the idea that he isn’t a final destination but a retreat. One which allows her to recover from the various pains life has thrown at her. Yet, not a place she can see herself permanently…
Throughout chapters 3 to 5 of Surpassing Certainty, we finally get to see Janet experience a healthy relationship. Not one rooted in sex, being used, or anything like that, but the type of love which seemingly alluded her and seemed to be all but a Hollywood fabrication.
In Janet Mock’s first book, Redefining Realness, there is a bit of a time jump from chapter 17, when she gets her reassignment surgery, to 2009. In that time period, we miss out on so much. Primarily the years of which Janet’s physical body matched who she mentally and emotionally is. The second round of…
In Chapter 2: After the Festival (1984), the main thing that gets established is the homophobia of Derry and not much else. I mean, Pennywise makes an appearance, but it isn’t really about him.
In Part 1: Chapter 1 – After the Flood (1957) all we get is the introduction those familiar with the mini-series will already know.
And so we come to the end and it is filled with a lot of heartbreak and tears, but eventually the sun comes out. Yet, even as the light removes all the shadows and mysteries that were left, you will still be wiping away tears.
In part 4, almost all of Wavy’s worse nightmares come true and due to that she is forced to fully rely on herself, entertain herself, and figure out a way to live when the only reason to do so is just hoping for a better day.
The line is officially crossed in this part of the All the Ugly and Wonderful Things. Kellen and Wavy go from odd looks to doing things which warrant scrutiny. Really pushing you to remember, Wavy is but 13 and Kellen more than a decade older.
The overall goal of Wherever I Look is to fill in that space between the average fan and critic and advise you on what’s worth experiencing.
