I Fell in Love with Hope: A Novel

Product Information

it follow along the story of sam and their friend group of terminally ill hospital kids trying to live their life to the fullest.

they each have their own different complications and it is so sad to read about their struggles and that although their life is filled with so much pain and struggle they’re still attempting to fulfill a list of things before they sadly pass. We made a plan to live our entire lives in the garden and pretend we were woodspeople living off wild berries. Of all times to confess your feelings, and of all times to have a FIRST KISS… maybe don’t do it when someone is in the most fragile mental state imaginable, okay? Despite the sadness, painful news and deaths everywhere, the funny guy's clan always had reasons to play pranks or steal from the cafeteria and gas stations. Rzadko mam tak, że nie potrafię ocenić książki — były fragmenty, które powodowały dyskomfort (bo dotykały tam, gdzie boli najbardziej), a były takie, gdzie patetyzm mi przeszkadzał i psuł odbiór.But because both sections are hyper-poetic, it’s confusing, it reads like someone dumped a thesaurus on the page, and it veers away from unique and starts turning the prose more and more purple. Goodreads Librarians are volunteers who help ensure the accuracy of information about books and authors in the Goodreads' catalog. But when the entire page reads like this, and the description of the event is also described like this, the already obscured meaning loses what it brings to the table because it’s literal description. I can't say this is a miss for all because her writing style wasn't for me, but maybe it'll be for you.

I get it, but their childishness juxtaposed against their apparent proclivity for philosophy didn’t quite match. Now that I know the author runs a Tiktok account, it all makes sense: every line felt like it was meant to be put in a “quote video” or whatever. As it happens to Sam, who would do everything possible to escape from the hospital along with his gang of rebellious pranksters, before death touches his part and thus be free from abusive parents, injections to cure the incurable and endless sadness, but when that sunny-eyed boy joins the clan, everything will change forever and will be the lifeline that rescues Sam from the darkness.he asks, his wheelchair suddenly creaking, the weight disturbed by something slipped into the cubby beneath it. A grand escape that will take us away from abusive parents, crippling losses and the reality of our illnesses. He’s also the smartest person I know—observant, creative, resilient—the one who plans and records our great feats of thievery. Their first escape attempt fails because Sam gets cold feet when they go to cross the bridge; he turns around and goes back to the hospital, hurting Hikari along the way.

Like the writing itself is one of the symbolism for the topics discussed in the book (chronic illness and mental health) IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPETITIVE LMAO THAT'S THE FUCKING POINT, the writing is what the characters go through (this makes much more sense when you read the book) and yes I think the writing perfectly captured everything ( I've read other works from the author, so it's very obvious there's a reason this particular book has a more poetic writing, different books need a style of writing which fits it). Gdy dostajemy go przez całą książkę, nawet gdy nie jest zanadto potrzebny traci tą siłę przebicia i najzwyczajniej w świecie ciężko się to czyta. In the midst of pain and loss, they find community, even miracles, and together they are determined to reclaim from life what illness has taken from them. His bullshit detector is a honed weapon, and when he gets mad, I wouldn’t wish his wrath upon actual prisoners.

i feel like this book was written just to be hyped up on instagram and tiktok bc it has "gorgeous prose". One night, they succeed in robbing the gas station by making up fake stories about cancer and dying any second. I should have known better than to have high hopes for a book written by someone who worships Hanya “I don’t believe in therapy” Yanagihara. i felt so disconnected from the main character and the writing itself tbh, and i only ever cared about two of the side characters - neo and coeur, my beloveds.

She specializes in the genre of romance, drama and mystery, and is also a passionate reader of romance books. Also, the creative choice to have a character like Hikari, someone with a history of self-harm and suicidal behaviour, fall in love with someone who doesn't exist, and to tell her this just after she's finally overcoming the death of multiple of her friends. Even though it’s been years since Sam’s death he still carries the pain and hopelessness, and it isn’t until Hikari arrives at the hospital that he starts to see a small glimmer of hope, of a chance of love for the first time in a long time.I remember Neo’s dad’s abuse being COMPLETELY dismissed in the following passage: “The great abuser in Neo’s life was not his father but the sickness in his veins. Lancali’s novel tackles difficult topics relevant to the 21st century teenager—such as mental health, chronic illness, strained family relationships, and the loss of loved ones. but only if it has something else going for it - characters, romance, development, amazing plot twists, ANYTHINGGG. Self-published books written by young people can be very good( I’ve read many), but this one had all the hallmarks of what makes people skeptical of reading self published stories: poor editing, flimsy plot, and weak writing.
