Some People's Children

Some people’s children was the first book I read as a youth ambassador for @digitally_lit !! Even though it’s not the genre I would typically pick up, it was still a great read! @bridgetcanning

Some people’s children is a really compelling coming of age story that focusses on topics I’m sure a lot of teens can relate to. Such as belonging and struggling to find one’s identity. She captured the good parts of being a teenager and even the not so good. We saw Imogene grow with time and understand herself better.

I really liked the author’s attention to detail about describing the setting of the book. I felt like I was transported to NL with Imogene and could vividly picture every scene. The characters were described so well they felt realistic! I really felt for them.

The book had some twists and turns and kept me flipping the pages. I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed but all in all it was a great book. It wasn’t one that i would typically pick out myself but I’m glad i got to read it! If you’re looking for a good coming of age story that has great character development check this book out!

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Some people’s children a été le premier livre que j'ai lu en tant qu'ambassadrice jeunesse pour digitallylit!! Même si ce n'est pas le genre que je choisirais généralement, c'était quand même une bonne lecture!
Some people’s children est une histoire de passage à l’âge vraiment fascinante qui se concentre sur des sujets auxquels je suis sûr que de nombreux adolescents peuvent s’identifier. Comme l’appartenance et la lutte pour trouver son identité. Elle a capturé les bons côtés d'être adolescente et même les moins bons. Nous avons vu Imogene grandir avec le temps et mieux se comprendre.
J’ai beaucoup aimé l’attention de l’auteur aux détails concernant la description du cadre du livre. J'avais l'impression d'être transporté aux Pays-Bas avec Imogene et de pouvoir imaginer chaque scène de manière vivante. Les personnages étaient si bien décrits qu'ils se sentaient réalistes! J'ai vraiment ressenti pour eux.
Le livre avait quelques rebondissements et me faisait tourner les pages. J'avais l'impression que la fin était un peu précipitée, mais dans l'ensemble, c'était un excellent livre. Ce n’était pas celui que je choisirais moi-même, mais je suis content d’avoir pu le lire! Si vous êtes à la recherche d’une bonne histoire de passage à l’âge qui a un grand développement de personnage, consultez ce livre!

I recommend this book.
