When I was reading it, the first few parts was incredibly confusing that I was frustrated with myself because there are a lot of good reviews and I can't understand the story. But I cried.. so much.<br /><br />I didn't know about Jellicoe and Saving Francesca will have their movie adaptations. All I know was the movie Looking for Alibrandi though I haven't read the book yet. Maybe we're both living under a rock. <i>Maybe we're neighbors.</i> Lol.<br /><br />x,<br />Charlie @ <a href="http://lettertrails.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Letter Trails</a>CDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10970442522185560205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-2965773083071438832013-06-01T08:57:12.984-05:002013-06-01T08:57:12.984-05:00Jellicoe Road is one of my favourite books and Mel...Jellicoe Road is one of my favourite books and Melina Marchetta is definitely in my top 3 favourite Authors, glad you enjoyed this :D <br /><br />I'd recommend you check out Between The Lives by Jessica Shirvington, the synopsis may sound slightly confusing but it's certainly a book that you'll need tissues for, I pretty much sobbed through this book LOL<br /><br />Angelica @ <a href="http://princess-paperback.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Paperback Princess</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00750479683898160738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-10148720507736269012013-05-31T23:54:38.042-05:002013-05-31T23:54:38.042-05:00I am just like you.

My gosh. This sounds fantastic, I was hooked by the synopsis. And now that I see that it's emotional...I'm in. I'm so in. I'll probably read instead of listen to this one, but I'm always up for narrator suggestions :) Eeep, I'll be diving in soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00343758249538361290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-65218092245190016732013-05-31T14:33:35.430-05:002013-05-31T14:33:35.430-05:00I cried so much with this one.

Is it absolutely horrible for me to admit that I've never heard of this book, nor have I heard of this author? I just went and looked her up on Goodreads... I think I should officially be ashamed of myself. Her books sound amazing!! Okay, apparently this is a sign that I need to read her work. Maybe I'll start with this book? You made the audio sound absolutely incredible, so maybe I'll go that route as well. Thanks for the heads-up on another awesome author! You rock! :DLisa @ Lost in Literaturehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00455487013837461160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-31949846211529425792013-05-31T13:04:59.832-05:002013-05-31T13:04:59.832-05:00I didn't expect much out of this book but I en...I didn't expect much out of this book but I ended up LOVING it.

I Because this book is confusing I would definitely read it but not listen to it because I don't have this patience for an audio book.
