Wow, what else can i say other than that? I've read a lot of great books by Katherine Black, but she has truly outdone herself with this one. It has got to be the best book I’ve read this year.The prologue starts with the voice of Sarah’s dad, who admits to reading his daughter’s diary. Exactly who and what type of person Sarah is we’ve yet to discover, but from the start of the first chapter we’re taken on a tragic journey, getting to know Sarah through her own words, to discover exactly how he...

Wildly Unique and CompellingYoung Sarah captured my heart from the first page in this wildly unique and compelling novel. This author has such a talent at creating characters that jump off the page and stay with long after you put the book down. Sarah’s personality is so endearing. Her story had me laughing, and crying, and flipping the pages intrigued and gripped to find out what would happen next. I was so immersed in sweet and amusing Sarah’s drama, a spectacle-laden and heartbreaking situati...

This is a well written, educational book about dementia, a cruel disease that steals your loved ones away. I have 2 sisters with dementia and very hard watching this disease slowly take away the personalities and spirit of a person. Hopefully, a cure is found soon.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this book, especially since there are only 47 ratings. The first chapter starts off with Mr. Bell reading his 14 year old daughters diary. In this chapter he outlines how remarkable his daughter Sarah is and how through reading her diary he found her perspective, much of which was hidden from him. And it broke his heart. Mr. Bell recognized that Sarah was forced to end her childhood quickly and take responsibilities on as an adult. His words are full of regre...

Nowhere Boulevard by Katherine Black is one of those books I started to read not really expecting to finish. I’m not typically a YA fan, but I picked this book up from a recommendation on Facebook. The reviews were good, and the subject matter was intriguing, so I thought why not give it a go. I opened this story not expecting to read past the first chapter or two. I didn’t close it until I’d read the whole book. I don’t need to go over the subject matter. You can get an idea from the blurb. Wha...

Fast-paced. Riveting. Emotional. Suspenseful. This book brings it ALL! It was an artful melding of heart-pounding thrills and nail-biting suspense.
