Excuse me while I jump up and down and SCREAM about this book!!! I read it in a little under 3 hours and I couldn’t put it down!!! Harley is a trapeze artist but her parents want more for her than the circus life, despite growing up in one. So she runs away to a competitors circus and joins them but not in the way you think! This book has it all - drama, family, love, and suspense! Akemi Dawn Bowman is a masterful storyteller and weaves Harley’s gorgeous family story together effortlessly! This is definitely in my top ten of 2020!!! Brilliant book about running away to the circus but knowing that it’s okay to change your mind on a decision and stick with your gut! ( ) For the most part I really enjoyed this novel. I loved the circus setting and all the drama and friendships which occurred behind the scenes. I also liked the cultural diversity and how the author dealt with the issue of depression and following your dreams. However, my biggest problem with "Harley in the Sky" was Harley herself. How she treated the people close to her was horrible and what she did to her parents to get what she wanted was unforgivable. I was disappointed with her selfish decisions and could sympathise with her parents. Harley did grow as a character throughout the novel and the ending was satisfying. A good read. I loved this book so much. I bought the special Once Upon a Bookclub edition and it was so awesome. The gifts that came with the book were great and so spot on. I learned so much about the circus. I would love for this book to be turned into a movie. I enjoyed traveling with Harley in the circus and watching her grow as a person and a performer. I was so happy with the ending. So beautifully written. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
