This Girl Reviewed by Rachel

Let me share my thoughts. I’ve got to say, Hoover has a special way with words that just captivates you from the get-go.

Reading ‘This Girl’ was like being invited to revisit Lake and Will’s journey, but this time through a different lens – Will’s perspective. It’s fascinating, you know, how the same story can unfold in a new way just by shifting the viewpoint. It reminds me of hearing a story from one friend and then getting a whole new version of it from another. Hoover captures this perfectly.

The poetry in this book, oh, it’s just sublime! Hoover uses it so skillfully, almost like a window into Will’s soul. It adds this beautiful, raw emotional layer to the narrative, making the story feel even more intimate and heartfelt.

But, I must admit, there were parts that felt a bit too familiar, almost like I was retracing steps I’d already taken. For die-hard fans of the series, it’s a wonderful deep dive into a beloved character’s mind. But for someone who hasn’t been on the Lake and Will journey from the start, it might not hold the same charm.

In essence, ‘This Girl’ is a beautifully written, emotionally rich book that’s a real treat for fans of the series. It adds depth and understanding to Will’s character that was only hinted at in the previous books. For newcomers, I’d recommend starting from the beginning of the series to truly appreciate the nuances of this book.
