I did not have many complaints. Even though, at times, I may have felt there was information or conversations that were not entirely needed, it did add more depth to the book and allowed the reader to see more into each individual

The way Simmie engages her audience makes the book itself a very fast read, besides the fact it only contains two hundred pages. Including real life situations and daily obstacles can have a huge affect on the reader. It followed a logical sequence of events and was told in just enough detail to create an

I especially enjoyed the pictures throughout the book. The pictures are of Sara, and have captions relating to that part of the book that say what Sara is thinking. The pictures really added to the book allowing me to fully understand what life was like in New York during the 1920’s, and how Sara was feeling during different parts of her life. I especially liked the image used between page 166 and 167, it is a picture of her looking sad and hungry, with the caption, “ I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the food.” The pages around this image talk about how she didn’t have enough money for food at the time, this picture really enforces how hungry and desperate she

The page setup of the book was spaced out and divided into easily comprehensible paragraphs. The text also included what appeared to be sketched images, which would be helpful to keep a child interested and engaged. The plot of the book built on itself well, and it led to the big picture idea at the end in a very easily understandable way. Every piece of the story that the author provided along the way added an element of deeper understanding, which resulted in a very meaningful end to the tale.

Mindy Kaling’s Memoir, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (and other concerns), was a hysterical and uniquely-formatted novel. Its unique qualities contribute to Kaling’s purpose for writing her memoir and help make her seem like a “real” and relatable person.

With the authors allowing us as the readers to look in on their lives, we were able to draw a few Arrows from our lives too. Being able to this can benefit one by giving them knowledge and comfort that we are not bad people. We all experience these life Arrows that try to deceive us; we just have to be aware of them and take action in trying to do better. When we are able to open up about past events then we are more likely to grow from them. When it comes to relationships we should not allow past experiences to result in our future relationships.

Though the plot is really good, there are still some things that weren’t as good. One thing that I thought was a little weird was that the book was written at a highschool level. Another thing was the abrupt sentence changes and some of the sentences were worded a little differently. Also, some things were reiterated more than needed and certain words were way overused. Yet, even with all of these lesser things there was still some really good things(besides the plot) that I noticed.

It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and

I do think some improvements here and there could really make the book better. The writing is marvelous, much like Neal’s other books, but the plot seemed under-developed and disjointed. It’s as if he wrote an a thousand page book, then cut all the important, thought provoking pages out; leaving the book to be good, but choppy. Overall, I’m really glad I read this book, and I think others should as
