“If we
don’t take any risks, then we won’t find the things worth living for.”
First
off, I don’t really get the title of Some quite place which might be the reason
for my low level of intelligence quota and here, at my thirtieth word you’re
possibly yelling at my review for being so dumb and clueless at which point I am
trying to live up to my juvenile age meanwhile not marching on the walk of
shame which is so far far away from my much wiser, enlightened peers while I am
starting to think that this sentence might have stretched way too long that I have
previously planned and right there I need to stop.
So
the point is I am obliged to ascribe some symbols to the title as zealous
readers are supposed to while proving myself that I am not so dumb as you might
have thought before.
Lizzy,
although I am not entitled to use the short name but whatever, it is my review
(freedom of press), is a quiet place herself incapable of feeling a twinge of
emotion on her own but she is swarmed by human-faced Emotions which has
officially the best concept of paranormal YA of 2018 so far on my read list. I
am so cheesed off while she resist to feel a driblet of love or a dab of fear
as if I am not authorized to have any sentiment either. But I would so love to
feel so many things at once! I’d love to feel infatuation as long as staring
into Fear’s piercing blue eyes or a little quavering in my stomach by Joshua’s
touch or I would very much love to
clobber that bastard Tim avowing himself to be Lizzy’s father. Instead I have
to endure the dolorous nothingness which comes along with Elizabeth’s every
step, however, I have nothing to harrumph about while there is Fear kissing all
over and Joshua blushing around. Adorableness has just skyrocketed!
All
story needs to include something best
thing ever. Some quiet place’s best
thing ever is that I could not figure out what she’d been made of all along!
All those portentous dreams and sulky Emotions goofing around did not add up till
the very end and after all this came the Emotion who must appear behind me when
sinking under a hot tub: relief. Relief because once in a lifetime the
storyline is not predictable. Relief because the punch line turns out to be 98%
logical, 99% believable and 100% enjoyable. I cannot thank it enough!
The
bright side is that I had been snatching my head from Fear to Joshua wondering
who would finally do the homerun, for half of the time rooting for Fear, for
the other half drooling over Joshua (true). So when Fear was not in flesh
(muhahaha) then Joshua could easily take his place, for I did not miss him.
The
50 shades of greyer side is that I was so horribly crushed when my poor baby
was thrown aside like a piece of trash. And for him, there is not such a thing
as consolation or other happy ending. He was just a tool in her game, easily
got rid of. Thus, though I am beside myself with joy that Elizabeth and Fear
getting their Emotional happy ending, I am not the least satisfied with that of
Joshua who bears the brunt obviously but what is left for me is to groan
inwardly. I really carry the torch for this guy. xoxoxo
All
in all, I gaily take a leap of Emotion into the Where Silence Gathers and I
hope I will thank my lucky star!
