Book Review of How the Light Gets In

How the Light Gets In
krissyj8 avatar reviewed Coming of age novel- different from the rest! on + 22 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 1


There are so many coming of age books out there, but this one truly exceeded my expectations. It's awkward at first to see her journey with her new family, but the main character (Lou) grows on you. Lou meets a variety of people while she is in the U.S. and tries to fabricate a life that is not her own so she will fit into her white picket fenced family which is a polar opposite lifestyle from her family in Australia. It is painful to watch her make mistakes, but the book has character and is difficult to put down!!
