When You Reach Me

The story follows a sixth grader named Miranda who gets the cold shoulder from her best friend Sal after he gets punched in the face. Afterwards a series of notes are sent to her asking her for help to save his and her best friends life.
2.5 it was an okay book it just felt flat. I couldn't sympathize or relate to the characters. The only character I cared about was Marcus. For the life of me I can't figure out what was the point of this book. Overall the writing was simplistic and easy to read but nothing I never seen before. I really liked the aspects of time travel that were mentioned in the book since it's a really interesting topic that is debated. Clearly the book a Wrinkle in Time played a big role in the book, but I never was able to get into that novel so it may have taken away some enjoyment and connection to the book. I felt like the story was dragging on even though the book is less than two hundred pages. I only really recommend this book if you enjoyed a Wrinkle in Time or if you enjoyed any of her other novels, but unfortunately this wasn't the book for me.
