Dizzy in your Eyes

Dizzy in your Eyes - Pat Mora

In this book, there is a collection of poems about love : the heart break, the pain, and the happiness. Pat Mora's words are what I consider Beautiful. 8.5/10

Favorite Line: " I know when you walk into a room/ I don't need to see or hear you/ behind me/ but I know you're there/ and wish you'd touch/ my shoulder when you walk by."

This book was a coming to age story about a girl named Melissa. This book allows us to grow up in a very realistic way. It is an enjoyable read. 7.5/10 

Major theme: You will have sorrow but your life lasts a million years (like glass) and therefore you will also have love and happiness. i.e Everything will be okay eventually.

Protagonist Melissa - Suffers from the lost of her father and her best friend: she is just trying to figure everything out

Other Characters:

Ryan: Melissa's best friend who falls for beautiful Courtney

Courtney: A beautiful girl who sweeps in and steals Melissa's best friend from her. She makes Melissa see everything she is not when it comes to beauty

Ashley: Melissa's older sister. She tries so hard to be pretty and this leads to disagreement between the sisters. Ashley's accident makes Melissa see her for what she really is, broken just like her.

Best line: " And in the in between... Maybe they had lunch and laughed about old times. Or maybe they didn't"
