My Thoughts
As a preteen and later a teenager, I had dreams of publishing my first novel early and becoming a literary wunderkind. Alas, I’m now 30, and without a novel and international acclaim to my name. For a while, I tried to console myself by thinking of all the famous novelist who didn’t write their masterpieces until later in life, or who only achieved fame years after they died. Surely, I told myself, no one actually writes a novel in their youth.
Unfortunately for my ego, this isn’t true. In fact, a number of talented teen writers have published novels during their middle and high school careers. That’s right, while you were worried about acing your science test or asking your crush to homecoming, these teens were landing book deals.
The Other Sister by Alexis Doellinger and Chad Doellinger is one of those emotional young adult novel written by an amazing fourteen-year-old author Alexis Doellinger and her father Chad Doellinger. The book is truly raw and realistic. It doesn't have any of the tropes that some novels have and so I enjoyed that The characters and romance was more nuanced and I also enjoyed that more. I really liked it! I just got really into it, I liked the characters; I fell hard for the lead character. I liked the plot, I liked how supportive all characters were because in a lot of books they can be two-faced people. I'm looking forward to reading more of the author's books.
Alexis Doellinger, the teen YA author, completely enthralled our minds with her debut teenage YA emotional rollercoaster. This is an ideal book, since everyone can will able to relate to all the issues.
Highly Recommended!
