Losing forever gayle friesen5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() I want to say twelve it's never made entirely clear what age she is. ![]() YA is now a 17-and-up category, but it wasn't always another book I'm set to review, Hope, would probably be shelved in J (Juvenile) along with half of my beloved McKays. Nobody is older than her age in this so far, and that is to Friesen's credit. Losing Forever is a true YA novel in the older tradition of writing for adolescents, about adolescents, about the concerns they were likely to have. I think I forget, when I trawl the shelves for YA I haven't read, that the category has actually come to mean "this used to be where books for adolescents went, but adolescence now lasts into the college years and they're the ones we're writing for these days". It's not a DNF because it's bad it's a DNF because I wasn't connecting with the characters, and that's understandable. ![]() I don't think it's fair for me to rate this. ![]()
