Too busy, but I finished.
I've been too busy to blog and keep up, so my next few posts will be in depth about a few novels. This entry however, is about Stargirl. I finally finished Love, Stargirl. Well a few weeks ago but here I am. The ending was surprising, but enjoyable. It was very nice to see Archie back in the picture, as well as having a final response to Leo. It was weird to me seeing so much doubt within Stargirl's character in this novel because in the first one Spinelli made her shine and she never stopped. In this novel we see the more human side of her, we see that even an uppity girl who has a happy wagon can be dragged down by love, and other emotions. Spinelli is fantastic, creating an ending that leaves us open to the question of will Leo and Stargirl end up together? We find out that one day again they will meet and that, my friend, sounds like good news. I was also very happy that Mary Lou finally came out of her house, as well as Stargirl's decision to send her letter to Leo. Made me smile a little bit.

Yes, to both. When Mary-Lou comes out of her house, even though it's kind of predictable, it made me feel like even terribly bad times can be overcome. And, yes, I got your email, so I can see that it's been one of those times for you. I hope the smile in Spinelli's writing brought just a tinge of sunshine to your otherwise gloomy days. And, indeed, will they or won't they meet again. I guess you could write the fan fiction and decide! Perhaps a project for break?
