Renee's Review
I was gifted this book by the author (thank you) in exchange for an honest review.
The Smartest Girl in the Room by Deborah Nam-Krane, is diffidently a case of "can't judge a book by it's cover". I did that very thing. I wasn't fond of the cover, so I didn't think I would like the book. This was a great book about growing up and taking care of yourself. This shows us how important nurturing is in growing up process.
Emily is a stressed out 19 year old college student, that's where the normal college student part of her ends. She has a hard life, she has always had to take care of herself. She is very vulnerable, so she turns a blind eye toward some signs about people she trusted and thought were her friends. To be the smartest girl in the room, she really lack in socially and emotional situations. I just wanted to mother her and be there for her.
Mitch, really was a great guy but he had his faults. He did break Emily's heart and I kind of understand his reasoning.... but really it was just a guy being a dumb guy. He got kind of burned in return (not by Emily). Even with all that happen Mitch still remained one of my favorite characters.
Nam-Krane really did the young adult theme well. I'm nowhere near that age but I do have kids that age. I feel like she got it right, with all the stress of college and still trying to make time for a life. I enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the rest of the series.
I give The Smartest Girl In The Room 4 Platypires
Bama Love!! Roll Tide!! and Keep Reading Y'all
