![]() ![]() Long Way Down is a narrative that takes place during a short elevator ride. As this one contained such a tight and concise narrative, I was excited to see how it would work. It’s not exactly a normal method of reading when you’ve got a collection of poems loosely tied together by a similar theme but that are all separate. It feels like a novel written in verse is the ideal way of doing this as I sometimes find it difficult to get into poetry. ![]() And I am still trying, though not very hard, to read more poetry this year. After all, it’s not a very long read so I knew I could blast through it in a matter of hours. So, when To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before proved too much for me to handle, I decided it was time to give it a try. Loads of people I respect on Bookstagram loved it and I heard loads of praise for it in general. But Long Way Down is the kind of book that I couldn’t ignore for long. So you’d think that I’d definitely want to steer clear of a piece of YA fiction written entirely in verse. Anyone who has read a few of my book related posts may know that I have a rocky history with YA fiction and I’m not entirely convinced by contemporary poetry. ![]()
