Book of Choice
Little Bee
By: Chris Cleave
Background:
My friend Elizabeth posted this book on her blog and I was intrigued. When you look it up on Amazon, it says something to the effect of "we do not want to tell you what this book is about because it will give it away." Obviously, that made me want to read it more.
First Thoughts:
Without telling you the BIG part of the book that "gives it all away," I'll describe the book as follows: The story starts off with a young African girl (Little Bee) immigrating to England to meet back up with a couple she met while they were vacationing in her country. Something happened on their trip that changed all of their lives forever.
Final Thoughts:
I loved this story! I do not want to talk any more about it BUT I will say that the ending leaves you hanging which I was slightly disappointed in. Remember in "The Break Up" when Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn just say Hi and walk away in the end? Not OK. I want to know how everyone ends up! However, I totally recommend this book.
I second this review EXACTLY. I loved the book, thought it was shocking! And the ending was meh. But recommended.
