I think my English teacher would be surprised I have a copy of the tagged book. I struggled SO MUCH with this book and truly hated it. Even thought I haven‘t read it yet, I know she would be pleasantly surprised I‘m willing to give it another shot.

The Chosen | Chaim Potok

This was required summer reading between freshman and sophomore year of high school. At the time, I absolutely hated it entirely because of Danny‘s father. At 15 years old, I couldn‘t fathom why a father would be that damaging on purpose. As an adult, I see him, and parenting, in a different light. I‘ve wanted to reread this for a while.

GingerAntics I have to say this copy is much nicer than the mass market paperback I had in high school, too. 4y

BookishMarginalia Indeed! I read this in high school too. 4y

GingerAntics @BookishMarginalia I think it‘s a common book for high school students to read. It seems it depends on your relationship with your parents if this book angers you as a teenager or not. The one friend I still have from high school, we bonded over our shared frustration with this book (including the fact we‘d both thrown it across the room on multiple occasions) the first time we met. 4y
