Weekly Reads: Solo

Solois the newest novel in verse from Kwame Alexander. I loooooove him. And full disclosure: I loved this book. It was a super fast read, despite its large page count, but it is done in verse so it reads very quickly. It was lovely, and sad, and was the second book this fall to bring me to tears while reading it on my lunch break. Must read.

My rating: 5 stars

Review from Goodreads:

Solo, a YA novel in poetic verse, tells the story of seventeen-year-old Blade Morrison, whose life is bombarded with scathing tabloids and a father struggling with just about every addiction under the sun—including a desperate desire to make a comeback. Haunted by memories of his mother and his family’s ruin, Blade’s only hope is in the forbidden love of his girlfriend. But when he discovers a deeply protected family secret, Blade sets out on a journey across the globe that will change everything he thought to be true.
