Away | Megan E Freeman

Megan E. Freeman's book Alone is one of my favorite MG reads. I was so excited when I found out she had a companion novel. While Away was a good read, and I couldn't pinpoint anything wrong with it, it just wasn't as good as Alone. I didn't connect with the character as much and found myself a little bored at times.

Louder Than Hunger | John Schu

What is louder than hunger? The voice in his head telling him he is a loser who shouldn‘t eat, doesn‘t deserve to eat. This portrait of a young boy suffering from anorexia and those determined to help him is inspiring. The voice feels genuine and telling the story in verse was genius.

I‘m enjoyed this companion to “Alone”, but I have to say I liked Aline more. As that focused on a singular character, this was split between 4 POVs, all told in either verse, news article style, or like a script which was a little distracting and couldn‘t get as close to the characters. The story is good though, and I‘m glad to see what happened to everyone who “disappeared “ in Alone.

I really enjoyed the audio of this companion novel to Alone.

This was a very quick read but didn't captivate me nearly as much as Alone did.

Addison_Reads I agree. I loved Alone and was so excited for this one, but it just didn't connect the same way. 2mo

First book of 2025 and #AuldLangSpine is complete! And what a fantastic way to begin my reading year. I wouldn‘t have heard of this one if not for the list from @BookmarkTavern which is why I like this event. This was lovely - both melancholic and hopeful. I liked the depth of the world building and the development of the relationship between Andres, Renee, and Liora. I thought the end twist was predictable, but made sense. I hope more discover it

monalyisha Interesting that it‘s in verse! 4mo
BookmarkTavern Yay! I‘m so glad you liked it! 4mo

This novel is aimed at middle grade readers, but held me captive for sure. Jake charts his challenges with anorexia and OCD in this heartbreaking, but ultimately hopeful novel in verse. Jake and his grandmother share a love of musical theatre and reading. But he struggles to connect with friends his own age and fights off a very controlling voice in his head that is causing him great suffering. This beautiful book shares Jake's journey to healing.
