Write-Up Appertaining To Books Fixing Delilah
There's a reason Sarah Ockler is one of my favorite authors. After loving both The Book of Broken Hearts and The Summer of Chasing Mermaids, I have no idea why I waited so long to read Fixing Delilah, but it's just about as amazing as those two. For one, Sarah's writing is utterly gorgeous. She has a way with words that sucks me right into her stories and pulls me along effortlessly. I could read them forever. Her characters are always wonderful, too. Delilah is a girl my heart immediately

I loved this book so much, it's really the kind of story that got me hooked on, and keeps me reading YA. The story is intense - why did Delilah's mom stop speaking to her own mother 8 years ago, the day of her father's funeral? And why is Mom so vague on the subject of Delilah's own dad, a one night stand whose death is the subject of Delilah's curiosity and concern. Now 16, Delilah has come to feel adrift in her own life when they receive the news of her grandmother's death. Their return to the

"We all long for what could have been." This is a quote repeated several times throughout Fixing Delilah, one that I really love. Having not yet read Ockler's debut Twenty Boy Summer, I was pleasantly surprised by her lyrical yet simple way of writing and the rhythm the events were woven together. She certainly knows how to write her stories and make fantastic characters; Delilah was wonderful and had me captivated from the start.Despite how much I loved Delilah's character, she is not my

Delilah's family is torn apart from a long time feud.Although I thought the love interest was a great story line, I thought the basic plot seemed a little skimmed over. It's a tough topic, though, for any family - so many secrets - that it's hard to find a balance between really wallowing in the horror and understanding the motivations of Delilah. I would have loved more back story and more understanding of the mom and sisters, but it was a nice short read, so that may be a nice trade off at

After her debut novel, Twenty Boy Summer, I know that I'm gonna love her other books. Without a doubt, Sarah Ockler writes beautifully. It's nice to know that after an amazing and very emotional ride with her first book, delivering the second one is still what I was expecting of her. Fixing Delilah may be your typical dysfunctional family story but what I love about it is how real the characters are and how emotionally driven and moving it is in between. It just had the right amount of laughter,

The hardest thing for me to say about a book is that I felt indifferent to it. Well, scrap that. Its easy to say. I feel indifferent about this book. There, done. Whats difficult is articulating why. When a book hasnt evoked any particularly strong feeling, positive or negative, I find myself staring at my keyboard with nothing much to say. Except things like nice, okay, fine which make for an extremely dull review. And Fixing Delilah was those things: nice, okay, fine. I dont harbour negative

Oh my goooooooooooosh! This book is remarkable! It's one of those "sucks you right in" type of stories and I thought for sure it would do a number on my emotions. Except for a couple of parts where my heart was in my throat and I thought it would break into a million pieces, the entire story was just so sad and real and heart wrenching. Delilah is so relatable and the friendship between her and Patrick and Emily is just so fun and amazing. Lots of swoon-worthy moments that give you chills and
