We were supposed to read Speak in my English class in high school, but instead just watched the movie, so I read it on my own and it's been years since. I think I borrowed her book Twisted (?) from the library but ended up not reading it. I'm definitely buying the Impossible Knife of Memory, though!

I'm excited to see how the author deals with the PTSD storyline as well as the romantic one (your mentioning the love interest's math puns has made me adore him already.) Last lines are pretty important to me too, so it's too bad that the one in this book isn't very good, but I'm glad you deem the book "incredible" anyway. Hopefully I will do the same. :)Emily @ Forever Literaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06220478018390968505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365200445147197440.post-35833471897989279082013-12-29T17:19:13.472+10:302013-12-29T17:19:13.472+10:30All I got out of this was MATH PUNS.

I have read a few books about PTSD and enjoyed them. Also, Finn sounds like a sweetheart.

Finn and Hayley's (this is the mc's name, right? A little fuzzy with this detail at the moment) romance sounds SO ADORABLE. Dorky YA love interests are the best, in my opinion. So excited about this book! Unfortunately, my winter break ends the same day it's published, but I could care less. Thanks for sharing your review! This book is definitely going on my TBR!Jessicahttp://strungoutonbooks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3365200445147197440.post-17265617678996716982013-12-29T12:49:27.156+10:302013-12-29T12:49:27.156+10:30Ahhhh, I cannot wait for The Impossible Knife of M...Ahhhh, I cannot wait for The Impossible Knife of Memory! It is one of the books that I most look forward to in 2014. I read a quick sample of it that included the cute first date with Finn (which is slightly stalkerish), so I am really glad to hear that the romance is cute throughout the whole book. That math pick up line is perfect. I am so glad it comes out soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
