Interpretation Supposing Books Leftovers

A devastating novel of desperation and revenge from one of today's most compelling new voices in fiction. In this follow-up to her heartbreaking debut, Such a Pretty Girl, Laura Wiess once again spins a shattering tale of the tragedies that befall young women who are considered society's Leftovers.

Blair and Ardith are best friends who have committed an unforgivable act in the name of love and justice. But in order to understand what could drive two young women to such extreme measures, first you'll have to understand why. You'll have to listen as they describe parents who are alternately absent and smothering, classmates who mock and shun anyone different, and young men who are allowed to hurt and dominate without consequence. You will have to learn what it's like to be a teenage girl who locks her bedroom door at night, who has been written off by the adults around her as damaged goods. A girl who has no one to trust except the one person she's forbidden to see. You'll have to understand what it's really like to be forgotten and abandoned in America today.

Criticize About Books Leftovers

Usually the books Ive read features the love between a boy and girl as the core of the story, but with this novel it was the love and loyalty between two best friends Ardith and Blair that was captured. I could not put this book down; the style of how it was written switching between both of their sides of the story which not only makes you feel like you were there but highlights the bond between these two girls who know eachother so well that they naturally mould together when telling their

MAY CONTAIN SLIGHT SPOILERSGod, 38% in and I'm ready to start bawling!I definitely was not expecting this sort of thing. ( I was thinking this would be a bit like Pretty Little Liars, except where the girls were treated badly) These girls are managing to do everything that a teenager is told not to or anything a teen has thought about. They drink, smoke, cut, and other things that make me want to sob. I can deal with the parents being cruel but when you bring the rape and one of the girls

"So are you still rooting for us, Officer Dave, or has the manifestation of our anger shifted us from sympathetic victims to heartless predators? Are you going to be one of those people who, no matter what happens, blames the girls?"Really enjoyed this one. Scary in a way, and especially brutal when you get to the end, but a very important story told by two girls when growing up.

When I began reading the first few pages of this book I immedietly was drawn to this book. Throughout this book I loved how each coming event wanted me to keep reading. The main characters are Blair and Ardith. But the secondary characters are Officer and Dellansandra. Blair is a rich girl who lives with both of her parents; while Ardith is a girl who is kind of poor and lives with a mother who doesnt really care and a dad who drinks alot. When Blair first meets Ardiths brother, things begin to

I struggled to decide how I felt about this book.This is definitely an interesting and somewhat compelling read, however, I did really struggle with the writing style - the swapping in and out of the second person narrative style was really hard to follow and I found it very frustrating at times.I liked the idea of Blair and Ardith both having completely different, and yet equally horrible, home lives and using their friendship with each other to try and get through it.I struggled with the

Reviewed by JodiG. for TeensReadToo.comHave you ever felt alienated from the rest of the world? Have you spoken and known that nobody was listening? Have you ever screamed No and been ignored at every turn? Ardith and Blair have experienced all that and more. And now they have committed a despicable act of vengeance in an effort to make everything right again.Blair and Ardith are best friends. They are fifteen, in the ninth grade, and have miserable, though very different, home lives. Ardith

'So are you still rooting for us, Officer Dave, or has the manifestation of our anger shifted us from sympathetic victims to heartless predators? Are you going to be one of those people who, no matter what happens, blames the girls?' this book is lyrical and visceral and beautiful and ugly all at the same time. It may or may not own my soul now.
