Revolution book jennifer donnelly6/10/2023 ![]() ![]() She’s angry at her father for leaving, angry at her mother for not being able to cope, and heartbroken by the loss of her younger brother, Truman. But the stuck-in-the-past thing only happens at the very end, before that she is merely depressed in general, then obsessed with the dead prince that looked like her brother. To sum it up (I had to peek ahead to see where any of this was going because I lost patience with the whole thing): Andi is depressed and possibly suicidal her brother died in a tragic accident involving perhaps a crazy person and a car? her mom is put in an insane asylum the estranged dad takes her to Paris where she finds striking similarities between her brother and Marie Antoinette's long-deceased son after some wild night she finds herself in some historic flashback that has to do with the French Revolution. ![]() Ok, I had some idea, but the story takes so long to unwind its not-actually-that-interesting secrets, and it's mostly just pages and pages of angst and the know-it-all attitude that comes from angsty teens. *SPOILER ALERT* I think this one has received good reviews, but after reading 100 or so pages I still had no idea where it was going and more importantly, didn't care. ![]() Teen fiction teen angst w/historical flashback. ![]()
