Short and Simple Review
I listened to this book on audio and, like Raymie Nightingale, the audio was fantastic. I finished it fairly quickly. In Raymie Nightingale I found myself the most curious about Louisiana. Her situation seemed very strange. She has a confident personality but she does not quite understand everything. Since I was so curious, I was excited to dive into this book from her POV. Right away Louisiana's Grandma tells her that they are leaving town. Louisiana does not get to say goodbye to her friends (this book takes place two years after Raymie Nightingale), so this book does not feature the three friends together. I liked learning more about her history and her situation, and some things Louisiana learned along with me. Her voice and personality are also a lot different than Raymie's. Louisiana is very innocent about many things, but she oftentimes pretends to be an adult, which she should not have to do (and she is put in this situation multiple times in this book). In this book, we also see that she sometimes has an unusual way of looking at things, and this too felt true to her character. I loved the cast of characters (even though some were not likable). I especially loved the Allen family. Like the companion book, this does touch on some heartbreaking moments, but the ending is heartwarming. Overall, this is a great book.
