”You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefullness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.”
Egy igazán megható
történet két fiatalról. Ez volt Sydney Logan legújabb alkotása, a Between the
Raindrops. Lenyűgözően gyönyörű történet.
A történet főszereplője
Scout Ramsey, akinek egy tragikus nap óta már nem ugyanaz az élete. Az anyja
már nem régi önmaga, és szinte naponta a drogok és más és más férfiak
társaságát keresi. Anyagilag sem állnak jól, és ez még enyhe kifejezés volt.
Egy nap édesanyja hazatér aktuális partnerével, akinek hajlandó eladni a saját
vérszerinti lányát egy kis csomag drogért cserébe. Az „üzlet” azonban
egyáltalán nem az, aminek látszik. Kiderül, hogy az édesanya akkori partnere
igazából egy rendőr, aki azért férkőzött a nő közelébe, hogy megbizonyosodjon
róla, valóban illegális drogokat használ. Ha még ez nem lett volna elég, akkor
még jön rá az is, hogy a lányát hajlandó lett volna eladni, ez pedig jócskán súlyosbít
a helyzetén. A nőt letartóztatják, Scoutnak pedig sürgősen egy másik lakhelyet
kell találni, hiszen még csak 17 éves, és így szüksége van felnőtt felügyeletre
a törvény szerint. A lánynak van választási lehetősége: vagy egy árvaházban
helyezik el, vagy beköltözik az egyik rokonához. Scout semmiképpen sem akar
árvaházba kerülni, így a kisebbik rosszat választja, beköltözik a
nagybátyjához, akit az egész város ismer és tisztel.
A költözés miatt új
iskolába is kerül, az eddigihez képest egy gyönyörű és nagy házban lakik, az iskolában
barátokat is szerez, és egy fiú is felfigyel rá. Az élete gyakorlatilag ettől
kezdve egy száznyolcvan fokos fordulatot vesz, és úgy látszik, hogy végre Scout
is egy normális és boldog életet élhet. Azonban ez közel sem lesz így…
Sydney Logan Between the
Raindrops című regénye egy igazán lenyűgöző és elgondolkodtató olvasmány.
Gyönyörű, de ugyanakkor szívszorító is. Borzasztó az, amit a főhősnőnek kellett
átélni, de annyira jó volt látni, hogy erős tudott maradni, és újra tudta
építeni az életét. Ebben rengeteg segítséget kapott a Campbell családtól,
akinek a tagjai egyszerűen imádnivalóak voltak. Wyatt már az első perctől
kezdve hatalmas kedvencem lett, csakúgy, mint a húga. Sydney Logan nagyszerű
karaktereket alkotott, emellett nagyszerűen ír, és kiváló a történetvezetése. A
regény nem hagy unatkozni, váratlan fordulatokkal van tele, és gyakorlatilag
néhány óra leforgása alatt elolvasható.
Mindent egybevéve, bárkinek,
aki szereti a romantikus YA regényeket, nyugodt szívvel ajánlom. Nem fogjátok
megbánni, hogy elolvastátok.

”You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefullness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.”
A truly emotional story
about two great teenager. That was Between the Raindrops by Sydney Logan. And
it was absolutely bueatiful.
The female main character
is Scout Ramsey, and since a tragic day her life is not the same. Her mother
changed a lot, she uses drogs and often changes her partners. They have severe
financial problems too, her mother does not want to work any more. One day,
Scout’s mother comes home with her boyfriend, and the woman is willing to sell
her own daughter to that man for a little bag of illegal drug. Actually, that
man is a cop, and he was hired to make sure that the woman uses this type of
durgs and get her arrested. The fact that she offered her daughter for drugs
makes her case more serious. The mother gets arrested, and they have to find a
place to stay for Scout. She has two choices, but she does not want to stay in
a house full of strangers, so she choses to stay with her uncle, who is
well-known in the city. Her uncle puts Scout into a very good school, she can
stay in a beautiful and quite big house, makes new friends and a boy is
interested in her. Her life seems to be normal again, but thing get complicated
later.
Between the Raindrops by
Sydney Logan is a really wonderful story, it makes you think. Beautiful, but
heartbreaking at the same time. So horrible things happend with the
protagonist, but it is so good to see that she remained strong. The Campbell
family helps her a lot, they are so adorable people, i like them a lot. My
favourite is Wyatt, I really liked him from the first moment. Sydney Logan
created absolutely good characters, and her writing is really good. The book
does not let you be bored, there are lots of twists in it.
Taking everything into
account, I highly recommend Between the Raindrops to anyone who likes to read
romantic YA novels. You’ll love it.
