I finished this book in a sitting and less than 24 hours.
That usually marks how incredible this book
is.
First of all, the cover is gorgeous and that is always been a bonus.
Secondly, and the most important part is
this book should be made into a
movie.
I am not trying to exaggerate but seriously
it should.
Goodreads synopsis:
Oscar Dunleavy, who used
to make the world's most perfect apple tarts, is missing, presumed dead.
No-one seems too surprised, except for Meg, his best friend, and his
little brother Stevie. Surrounded by grief and confusion, Meg and Stevie
are determined to find out what happened to Oscar, and together they
learn about loyalty and friendship and the power of never giving up
hope. The second sensational novel from Irish author, Sarah Moore
Fitzgerald, following her debut, BACK TO BLACKBRICK, perfect for fans of
Annabel Pitcher and Siobhan Dowd.
This is one of the book that made me clench my teeth
and hold on to my tears but to no avail.
I failed.
I cried.
From the start till the end.
I know I am a cry baby but this time, the tears just run down my cheeks involuntarily. Almost like I have been too
soaked up into the story until I did not
realise what's happening to me.
Oscar is almost like everyone's imaginary friend.
He is the kind of friend you want to
cling on too and never let go.
Oscar thinks positively of his surrounding
and he could sense when someone is in need and the
best part is, his apple tart
is like heaven on earth.
and so, he saved a man from drowning himself-
by using his apple tart.
Meg is his best friend who also has been his neighbor
since forever.
The setting is just like in Taylor Swift MV of
You Belong with Me.
Until now, I'm still dreaming of having
a neighborhood like that and having a cute guy
living next door.
But Oscar is not described as the ordinary
drop dead handsome characters in other YA books.
Oscar is something else. He is not dumb. He is
full with ideas.He is very supportive. He always put others first.
and does not put people down.
I am quite jealous of Meg for having an angle like
Oscar.
Things started to go wrong between them when
Meg has to move for 6 months to New Zealand
and with the presence of new girl in town named Palma
who rents Meg's house.
Palma seems to like bossing Oscar around and feeling like she knows everything and thinks that everyone loves her.
She charms almost everyone including Oscar.
At first things are going fine, but suddenly people started to turn their back on Oscar.
Poor Oscar did not know why and he kept on thinking that he is a moron.
and so he attempted suicidal.
I FREAKING HATE PALMA KILLEALY !
HATE HER
HATE HER
HATE HER
Without a doubt, she is the reason for this !!!!
She forged Meg's love letter to Oscar and she accused Oscar of being pervert !!!! because she thinks that she is so damn pretty that Oscar used his telescope to spy on her
WHAT THE HELLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Palma is a bully !
and I hate Bully !
They deserve nothing good in this world !
I still am feeling like punching the pages where there is
Palma in there.
I am always against bullying.
You have no idea what a single phrase could do to
a fragile person
You don't know what he has been through.
Why beeing so mean ?
I have not experienced a tough bullying situation in mylife
but there was a time where I have to handle a person
like Palma.
All I could say is people like that are pathetic unloved creatures on earth.
I know I am harsh here but it's true.
and after reading this book and see what Oscar has been through,
I am more certain that bullying needs
to be wiped off.
It is like pests killing you silently.
All in all, give this book a try please.
It really does opens up your mind about small little things
that you might missed out in life.
Sincerely,
DINIE
