Nusraat

by Ann Brasheras

Let me begin by saying how much this book disrupted my life. I’m unfortunately a slowish reader so for me to start and finish the second installment of the Traveling Pant Series so fast required a rather large unhealthy time investment.

That being said, I had to read this second book because I was worried about Bee. She was left precariously in the first book and I needed the peace of mind that she would be okay. She did slowly find herself and I was happy for her. Tibby and Carmen aggravitated me enough to almost quit reading the book as they were falling into their past faults. Lena went through hell this time around.

My favourite metaphor had to do with how Lena was acting as a trapese artist. Releasing her current swing and leaping for another in a different direction in midair knowing the dangers involved.

I will not let myself read the third book for a while.
5/5
