BY WENDY ORRi love this book. i read it this summer, and it started weird, but i just had to read it agian, so ya know it was good.
anna is in a car accident after the big karate tournament, which she's won. she's with hayden, her new boyfriend. or.. almost boyfriend? i don't know... eventually they are "going out" but she can't, because she broke her neck. but she didn't die.
so all of her is messed up, her ankles, thumb, neck, head.
the book is basically about her recovery, and almost not recovery.
then there's luke. i won't say anything.
here's my book quote:::
"a woman looming over me... smiling... blue uniform- an ambulance?
'how's the pain?'
past pain into a new dimension of horror: neck shredded, strangled; spasms from hell.
something over my face, i can't talk, have to tell her, maker her understand, make her fix it! squeeze my fist in the air, tightly and rhythmically; desperately. i can't take much more, my fist screams.
the woman smiles. 'not too bad?'
a nightmare. it has to be a nightmare."
it's set in austrailia, which i didn't realize till the second time of reading.
some key words:: old ladies, cake, collar, couch, uni, costa.
this is a reallly really good book. pretty sad sometimes, but i didn't cry. then... i never cry at sad things, but still, it was bearable. you feel bad for her, but by the end, not really, because she's happy again. isn't that what books are about?omg i just found out wendy orr wrote nim's island, which is being a movie soon. lol. see, she is famous. i thought she was just a one-hit-wonder. but no...
so read this book. now! lol...
