Ask Me How I Got Here
Aug 1, 2016
The Bookworm says... Maybe. Ask Me How I Got Here by Christine Heppermann is a YA fiction novel written completely in verse. When cross-country star Addie gets pregnant, her whole life is put on hold. Once she makes the decision to have an abortion, everything changes. She sees new sides of people she thought she knew, and gets closer to people she didn't.
Though I enjoyed reading this, I wouldn't say I loved it. The story was simple and short, with the major conflict being seemingly resolved very early on. I found the way the novel is structured to be distracting and I think the verse takes away from the reading experience. It was short and sweet and perfect fro anyone looking for a quick beach read.
