Are You Alone on Purpose?

Rating:
Summary: Great story
Review: Alison Shandling has always been the good child, the nerd, never causing her parents any trouble. They have enough to deal with with her autistic twin brother Adam. Harry Roth has always been a rude, cool kid who had his kicks by teasing Alison and her brother and torturing his father. But then one day at camp an accident leaves Harry in a wheelchair and even more bitter than usual. Alison recognizes that in a different way her family ignores her too and she procedes to try and be friends with Harry despite his protests. But slowly he starts to except her and they start to fall in love.

Great story. Alison and Harry are alike in many ways and that's what draws them together. You can really relate to them.

Review: Are you Alone, On Purpose is a telling story of how deeply grief settles in the heart of teenagers, especially when adults are unable or unwilling to listen. Both Allison and Harry harbor feelings of grief, resentment, isolation and desparation. Both want to "feel" loved. Ms. Werlin has tapped into the teen heart for this one.

Summary: Great!
Review: I loved this book. Alison reminded me a little bit of myself, afraid to cause trouble, but often one can't help it. She made Harry her business, even though he'd been mean to her and her brother. I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever been kind to someone else. ( By the way, Harry has Alison sit on his lap to kiss her. )
