Unspoken by Sarah Rees Brennan6/3/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I loved Angela’s brother Rusty, Kami’s family (in some ways, a little like mine, only so much more consistently witty), the new addition to the circle of friends, Holly I loved to hate Jared’s family. I loved the people in their circles – Kami’s best friend Angela had at least half of the best lines in the book. I loved Kami and Jared, neither the stereotype of Young Adult Main Character but unique, very much themselves. When she abruptly meets him face to face, though, everything changes. ![]() ![]() And neither wants to end it, at all – they’ve had each other to turn to with laughter and tears all their lives, and the thought of losing her best friend makes Kami deeply uneasy. Her mother wants her to stop it so, he tells her, does Jared’s mother – which could be the response of a real boy, or it could, of course, be what an imaginary friend in this situation would say. I have a system where when I stop, I lean casually against something, Jared told her. The laughing at nothing and occasionally stopping dead in your tracks. How do you deal with it? Kami asked Jared. For as long as she can remember she has had an imaginary friend, Jared … It was cute when she was little, a bit worrying when she was a bit older, and those around her look very much askance now that she’s seventeen and still talks to him in her mind. Our heroine, Kami, isn’t altogether sure whether she’s altogether sane. But I’ll try not to slaver all over the place. I’ve gone all fangirly and fear for this review – it could so easily just become OMG-awsum!!1!! blither. ![]()
