ARC Review: Summer Bird Blue
Have you ever imagined losing someone who meant the world to you? In the book Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman writes about the reality of Rumi the main character losing her best friend and sister in an unexpected car crash one day. After the crash Rumi was devastated as was her mom, Rumi blamed everything on her mom and decided not to talk to her as she was recovering from the traumatizing news. Rumi had no other parent figure other than her mom because her dad had left the family as soon as Leah, Rumi’s now dead sister was born. As her mom was trying to recover she made a poor choice and sent Rumi off to Hawaii for the summer so she could grieve alone. This idea made Rumi go crazy and the only emotion she ended up having was sadness she became antisocial through expressing these emotions. When Rumi was at Hawaii while her mom was grieving she met a variety of friends that picked her up when she was feeling down and that helped her get her mind off her sister's death. I recommend this book because it's well written realistic fiction story as well as it helps people realize that no one life is perfect. Additionally, every character has their differences and unique ways that their life is difficult for example in today’s society and those difference bring everyone together. Lastly, I recommend this book to everyone because the author does a great way of showing that even the hardest things in your life can be overcome although it may take time and may not be easy you can overcome anything.
