Hurricane Summer by Asha Bromfeild (Book Reveiw)

 

Hurricane Summer is that type of book that changes something inside you. It switches on a switch in you. Click!

Wowwwww, Bromfield did something spectacular in those pages! I am giving it a 86%

Yeahhhh….it was that good. 

First, I would like to say the Character, Tilla was whole in every way every character should be. She was real, I could feel her. And I think, I could relate with her, to an extent. The whole plot was refreshing. Young adult novel with a refreshing plot? Yes gimme that one. 

Tilla is a seventeen year old, yearning for the love of her Jamaican rooted father. Who frequently leaves them all by themselves with their mother. (who is more "foreign " to Tyson)

But not until she travels across the world to Jamica to see him does she discover that she can't get what she yearns for, her father's love. And she can't replace it with half baked love from other people. But she can eeolave with her live and making a within herself rather than other people. Hurricane Summer can be described as a coming of age novel, although we couldn't get to experience Tilla's eighteenth in the book. But I was glad she grew. She became strong!!!!!! And it was pleasing to read. 

Asha wrote about Jamaica in detail. And I was transported to the tropical country from my bed lying on my belly. The descriptions were not excessive but it was so good, I could see everything. That's one thing that amazes with good writing. 

Hurricane Summer was a good read as a whole, made me laugh, made me cry too, mon I cried so hard like a small pickney.

“But I was wrong. I can’t make a home out of other people. Or places. Not you, not my father. Not this island. I have to build a home within myself.”
