Jellicoe Road

Awwweeeesommeee. A little slow/confusing/hard to get into at the beginning. But after around 100 pages, I couldn't put it down.

Okay this review is a liiiitle spoilery. So tread carefully if you have not read the book. Fair warning!

I like the way you kind of learn the backstory as Taylor does, hence the confusion at the beginning. Although, she tended to be a lot slower on the uptake. It was definitely predictable at times, but not overly so.

I loved the territory war stuff, especially when you find out how it started. Loved Jonah & Taylor's chemistry, and all their banter/fighting, and then as they let their guards down, how they protect each other.

It was heartbreakingly sad, especially once you figure out about fitz. I literally cried it was so sad. :( It felt so senseless. You almost wanted it to be a serial killer so you can have something to blame, someone to hate. It feels worse when it's just a simple accident. Like all the heartbreak and the sadness and the ruined lives could not have been because of something so small, so innocent. I felt so immensely sad for Fitz.

Anyway. Extremely well written and amazing book. I LOOOOOOVED this book. Best YA I've read in a long while!
