Review---This Girl Is Different by J.J Johnson

Third post for a day.Phew!!! I feel better now after not posting anything the entire week.I had to bottle up my  feelings the entire week and now they are all out. Its a great feeling. The review is for This Girl Is Different by J.J Johnson. I loved it and I hope you will too.

This Girl Is Different by J.J Johnson is a book about a girl, Evie, who has been home-schooled, her entire life and decides to join a school for the experience. As the title goes, Evie is a girl, who is so different from any other girl in high school. By so different, I mean, she has her own special way of looking at things. This book is all about her experience in high school as a girl who has no clue, as to what a school is like. The ups and downs that she faces, first love, first true friendship.

When I first saw this book in Netgalley, I was a little skeptical about it. At first sight, I wasn’t a great fan of the cover page. But as my book-buying policy goes (book-reading in this case) I read the synopsis and was totally floored. The concept was the best and it was easily something I had never read about. Thankfully the publisher accepted by request and I was able to read the book. I loved the book from the very first page. I have always read books and watched movies about high school and they have all been the same thing, sometimes with a little twist or change in story, but never have I ever read anything like this. This book is one of those which make you start thinking things over again. For a person who likes to stay out of school politics, I was pretty darn eager to jump into the book and lend Evie a helping hand to assist her in fighting against injustice. I connected with Evie from the very beginning and in my minds eye, I saw myself befriend her if I would’ve been a part of the book. I got upset when she got upset. I was giddy with relief when she was happy and joyful. This story has made a BIG impact on my mind and often I find myself seeing things through Evie’s eye.

The characters are all great. Evie is adamant and won’t stop fighting for justice, which is a good thing. She has a strong believe in herself and craves for friendship. Rajas is just stupid and selfish. At first, I thought, he was the sweet one but guess I was wrong in my assumptions just like Evie. Jacinda is fickle minded, a sweet cheerleader, arrogant, refuses to listen to anyone, thinks that she is always right.

No matter the characters, I really really liked this book and I think all of you should read it. It makes you want to more and more with every page. It’s a guaranteed entertaining book from the first page till the end.

What did you think of the review/book?? Anything I missed??
