Our main character, Apple, was mature in some ways, but she was incredibly naïve and irresponsible in others. She hurts people with her careless attitude and does some pretty stupid things to impress her long-lost mother. But I guess this had me hoping that she would learn from the mistakes she made, and grow because of them.

I read Sarah Crossan's Breathe two years ago, and remember feeling a bit mediocre about it. I went into Apple and Rain hoping to feel a bit less ambivalent about it than I did Breathe, but unfortunately I find myself finishing the book with similar feelings.

Apple and Rain: : Sarah Crossan: Bloomsbury YA

Conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton who became famous show performers in the 1930s. Unlike any of her other novels to date, Sarah Crossan spent a lot of time researching historical and contemporary conjoined twins for her novel One. Photograph: Alamy Apple was easy to connect to, and my admiration for her grew every time she crossed the line, to save the relationship between the mother who abandoned her, the sister she never knew of, and the Nana she believed despised her. It was clear all she wanted was for things to be okay, and I just wanted to give Apple a big hug because she had so many things to deal with.

Das Cover verbreitet eine gewisse Melancholie, ist aber dennoch schön anzusehen und passt hervorragend zur Geschichte. Dazu finde ich es sehr gut, dass der Verlag das Original-Cover weitgehend unverändert gelassen hat. Die Kurzbeschreibung liest sich ebenfalls sehr gut und hat mich direkt neugierig gemacht. I read Apple and Rain in one sitting. It was incredibly addictive, and it drew me in from the first sentence. It’s an amazing novel and it really catches your eye, I think it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read and hope lots of people agree with me.
