Explanation To Books Belzhar
If life were fair, Jam Gallahue would still be at home in New Jersey with her sweet British boyfriend, Reeve Maxfield. She’d be watching old comedy sketches with him. She’d be kissing him in the library stacks.She certainly wouldn’t be at The Wooden Barn, a therapeutic boarding school in rural Vermont, living with a weird roommate, and signed up for an exclusive, mysterious class called Special Topics in English.
But life isn’t fair, and Reeve Maxfield is dead.
Until a journal-writing assignment leads Jam to Belzhar, where the untainted past is restored, and Jam can feel Reeve’s arms around her once again. But there are hidden truths on Jam’s path to reclaim her loss.
From New York Times bestselling author Meg Wolitzer comes a breathtaking and surprising story about first love, deep sorrow, and the power of acceptance.

It took me months to get through this one, I kept forgetting I was even reading it, so let's just say it wasn't a memorable read for me. It is unique, don't get me wrong, but I just didn't really care about any of these characters. Then when the magical element got introduced, it made the book even less interesting, not more as I had hoped.Ok so let's start with this premise. After her boyfriend dies, Jam gets sent to boarding school for troubled teens, and in one of her classes she's given aI appreciate what Wolitzer has to say about the past, how holding on to a memory or an event and not moving on keeps us from fully living. The premise is interesting, and I quickly turned the pages to discover the big secret of the novel (I guessed incorrectly. (view spoiler)[I thought everyone had committed suicide and the school and Belzhar was a way of working through what had happened so that they could move on. (hide spoiler)]). However, the story didn't delve as deeply into character
3.75 stars. For some reason I thought I had heard bad things about this so I didn't think I was going to like it, but I actually ended up rather enjoying it! Plus it may be just me, but I didn't see the ending coming at all. I'll definitely read more things by Meg Wolitzer in the future.

I devoured this in one day after being fortunate enough to pick up an ARC at the Texas Librarian Association Conference. It's impossible to put down. I hesitate to give much information about it for fear of spoiling it, but Wolitzer has created a profoundly moving story that will live on in my mind for a long, long time. The characters are fully developed and believable misfit teens, and the plot's twists and turns had me breathless. Just a delicious, wonderful read about trauma and recovery,

This book was bad. Just so so bad. Originally I was going to give it 3 stars, even though it was a solid 2.5 but then that ending in which you find out THE MAIN CHARACTER'S BOYFRIEND NEVER DIED EVEN THOUGH SHE PRETENDED HE HAD THROUGH THE ENTIRE BOOK. I mean, fine, I love a good twist. But this one destroyed the credibility of the protagonist, and the author too, because the whole point was Jam's involvement with a group of kids who had experienced such tremendously horrible and heartbreaking
I picked this book up in an airport over two years ago, never having heard of it. I instantly started it, and while I loved the writing style I remember having rather mixed feelings. I decided to revisit it to see whether I wanted to keep it or unhaul it (since it is only a three star I settled on unhaul, though it does have lots of things I like about it).This follows a teenage girl named Jam Gallahue. After her boyfriend dies, Jam is utterly distraught. Her parents decide to send her to a
