The characters seemed so alive and real, and the setting was so vividly described, it was just as much a character as any of the people in the story. I feel bad basically just writing, "It was really, really good" but I don't know quite how to describe this novel and all the reasons I loved it. Melissa is a child who copes with frequent moves and unhappy parents by eating and keeping her head down. This story of the summer she meets Sweetie and learns how to take her life into her own hands is a good one. There are a number of themes that are suggested in the novel, but one of my complaints would be that they don't get carried through to fulfillment, just hinted at. I thought Sweetie was a nice little story. I got it for free on a Kindle sale on Amazon.com and it's a keeper. I liked the relationship between the two girls, and I actually liked both of the parents. Thought the idea of the mom writing poems about their meals was very creative. The end was a bit weird though, and I assumed that 'green-eyed man' was Sweetie's father. There were things I felt the author could have explained a little more though - like Sweetie's scars, how she felt no pain, her mother's illness...these kind of annoyed me cause I didn't know what they were supposed to be and she made them sound so mysterious! Good book though! Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. "Sweetie" was written by an author I respect and think I understand. She has a gentle heart and spirit and it comes through loud and clear in this book about the friendship between two young girls from the mountains of North Carolina. I'm originally from the foothills of those mountains of which Ms Magendie writes. The place and time seemed especially real to me...authentic and so clear I could almost feel the pine needles under my childhood bare feet. I was home when I was reading "Sweetie." The precious friendship the two girls share in this book is so sweet and charming that it will touch the most skeptical of hearts. I would recommend this book to any who want to take a small vacation to a particular place and part of life that will remove you from the ordinary hustle and bustle of the 21st century. Because it's still a stand-still wonderland like "Sweetie" describes, and it's still that simple life of love and caring that will always find a way... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Friendship. Courage. Hope. For shy, stuttering Melissa, the wild mountain girl named Sweetie is a symbol of pride and strength. But to many in their Appalachian town Sweetie is an outcast, a sinister influence, or worse. This poignant and haunting story takes readers deep inside the bittersweet heart of childhood loyalties.
