There's Nothing Wrong With Chandeliers (Honesty)


Honesty
By Seth King

This book made me introspective and broke my heart. Shame on you Seth King – you made me cry. The stops/starts for this book were all on me or all on you. I couldn’t face trudging along towards the grief I was feeling long before I knew grief was in the horizon. It took me days (six) to finish this book and I’m currently reading dozens of others.

            Spoiler alert:
            The Alchemist is Obi Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker in Tatooine.
            All American Boys is eviscerating me and I’ve yet to finish chapter one.
            Your Voice is All I Hear made me happy that my nephew wasn’t ever treated like Jonah.
            The Landry News makes me remember too many teachers I actually worked with.
           
        I’m a little sick of contemplating the universe. I want to veg out and eat cheesy popcorn. That said, I can’t begin to say how happy it makes me to know that this book is out there. I want to believe that someone out there is reading Honesty and pushing pass the pain they should never have had to face in the first place and waking up to a new day.
      So thank you Seth King for Honesty, though I’m honestly still somewhat pissed about the whole world in which we live that makes this story possible.
