Hi readers, Lauryn here. I am bringing to you exclusive book recommendations from your favorite blog writers: Jake Long and Lauryn Everly.
Lauryn’s Book Recommendation: The House on Mango Street
A deeply poetic and moving kind-of-sort-of YA memoir, The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros follows a young girl by the name of Esperanza, as she grows up in a shabby house on shabby Mango Street. Young Esperanza faces a plethora of trials and tribulations as she hopes and dreams of someday having a real house of her own, far away from her rundown town. Mango Street offers poignant, poetic snapshot chapters of what it’s like to come of age as a young girl–the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Jake’s Book Recommendation: The Count of Monte Cristo
In “one of the best revenge books ever written” (-Jake), we follow the protagonist, Edmund Dantes, through false imprisonment and a journey for treasure. The book is incredibly raw and never holds back. Dantes, something of a Robin-Hood figure, is an extremely well-written character, and the entire book makes for an overall extremely exciting read.
