Book Review: The End or Something Like That by Ann.Ann Dee (pronounced “Andy”) Ellis is an American author and writing teacher.Įllis was born in Provo, Utah.Book Review: 36 Questions That Changed My Mind Abo.The Great American Reads: FINAL RESULTS.Book Review: Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak.I'm glad I remembered I had this one sitting around waiting to be read! It's heartbreaking.Īnd yet, told in such a cute and funny way.
How she misses her friend so bad and wants to talk to her again so bad, and yet she needs to move on with her life. And in the process we bond instantly with these characters, especially Emmy and her dilemma. The writing style is totally up my alley and is a style I wish I could learn how to do. It sounds a little weird, yeah? But I loved it. We learn that they take classes from a bogus dude who claims to know how to help people communicate with their dead loved ones. We learn about Emmy's insecurities and fears. and we learn all about Kim and the friendship these two have and the plans they make in the face of Kim's death from congenital heart disease. In the meantime, we bounce from this present day stress to the years before. So Emmy is upset and trying to figure out what she has done wrong and why Kim won't show herself. So all that year, Emmy tried to do all the things they'd planned but Kim never came back to visit her. Before she died, Kim told Emmy that she planned to come back and visit her so to be prepared. so I guess it could go either way yes?Īnyway, it's been a year since our girl Emmy's best friend died. I can't really decide if this book is categorized as a YA or an MG. Book: The End or Something Like That by Ann Dee Ellis
