Scribbler of Dreams by Mary E. Pearson Review

Note: Photos will lead to GoodReads


Romeo and Juliet had the right idea. About dating the enemy, that is. They were true to their hearts.
Kaitlin Malone knows what it’s like to date the enemy. She was raised to hate the Crutchfields, and absolutely does until she meets Bram Crutchfield. It turns out he’s a great guy, one she can talk to, share things with…even love. But when Kaitlin gives her heart to Bram, her world spins out of control. Soon the Crutchfields are her friends and she’s a traitor to her own family.

To make things worse, Bram was raised to hate the Malones, especially Kaitlin’s father who murdered Bram’s dad. Bram doesn’t know Kaitlin is a Malone. If he did, he’d hate her too.

What’s a star-crossed lover to do?

I have to say, I got this book out of chance and have to put out there that I feel bad I hadn't known about this title before.

This story is basically a modern day Romeo and Juliet but that hype of Shakespeares' master work never wore the story down for me. Kaitlin slowly falls for the one person her and her family have known to despise, however, as the reader starts to grasp the power of love in this novel...it gives judgment a whole new meaning.

Mary E. Pearson knows what she's doing. I love the surprise, twist'n turns and the balance of drama, romance, and mystery in this novel. I'd recommend this to any young adult who are looking for that classic love story that we all love with a guarantee of a soft, exciting, original teen love romance. This book will have you appreciate and be more hopeful for that special person that you may or may not have come across in life.

Scribbler of Dreams is what every young adult needs.

4/5

  1. Thanks for visiting my blog. I noticed you have a blog about cooking? (there' a link on my book blog.) I love to do that too, and have another blog for that. Also, I work in a school library, and this is my assistant's favorite book ever. She recommends it to every 7th and 8th grade girl that reads! Keep up the good work! I'm a new follower.
