Nadia's Reviews > Hope Was Here

I don't know exactly why, but Joan Bauer books are just, I don't know, I don't exactly know why I love them so much, but I just do. I think how I feel about her books is you can devour an entire book of her's because it's suspenseful with new plots, fast moving plots that keep you interested, and then you don't realize until the end that it wasn't the most fantastic book ever. But, they are still extremely fun to read, and I think I'm now in the middle of a new Joan Bauer phase. She writes books that are just automatically appealing to teens, well more like teen girls. Anyways, I liked it. Hope was just a fiesty, strong character. She was so independent and strong, which is probably another reason why I love Bauer's books, I absolutely can not stand in books like Twilight where the female protagonist is weak and needs everyone's help for everything, it just bothers me, it's a terrible role model; and in all of Bauer's books I've read, the female protagonist is strong. So, it's a good read, a very fun read actually.
