The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly BarnhillMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
There was a lot going on in this book. In the beginning, I wasn’t sure who to believe and felt like something was going on, but I wasn’t sure what. The character’s stories were all interwoven, and deeper than they first appeared. Reading this book was like watching a puzzle slowly come together to show you the whole picture. There is at least one question that I’m not sure was answered, but it’s a small one, and I can live with the mystery.
I will admit, when I first looked at this book, the title made no sense to me. I just sat there thinking about how you can’t drink the moon, so it has to be an analogy of some sort about what the girl does at night. I’m really glad the book is written in a way that allows you to understand the title early on. It’s also an interesting concept to think that the moon and stars are really not that far away and watching over people.
