The story is about coping with loss and grief, new transition in life, friendship, anxiety, family, and hope. The story is written in first person narrative from Morganโs POV with โAfterโ and โBeforeโ chapters which works really well telling readers how Morganโs life was with her mother and how her motherโs death changed her and her life. It made Morganโs voice more realistic and easy to root for. Every aspect of this book is so well written. This is mainly character driven story but there is so much in the story. All characters are realistic and relatable. I loved the way the author gave them all depth and layers. Tone of the story is heavy and serious because of its theme and plot that made story realistic and relatable. I loved the message from the story in this part about lifeโs uncertainty, things about planning, how if one plan fails take the fall and rebounce to new plan in life, sharing feelings with loved ones, forgiveness and adjust with changes in life and sit back to see how itโs taking shape. Morganโs talk with her father just before end brought tears in my eyes. It is my most favorite moment in entire book. Overall, Lemon Drop Falls is touching, sensitive, realistic, relatable, and beautifully written middle grade fiction. I highly recommend this if you like, story about loss and grief character dealing with anxiety vulnerable adults in middle grade story realistic and relatable situations importance of discussing heavy topic and feelings transition to junior high and what it means for person of this age . . ๐๐๐๐ฟ - Which book about loss and grief you liked most? . . . ...... #LemonDropFallsย #HeatherClark #contemporary #fiction #contemporaryfiction #middlegrade #middlegradefiction #booksteacupandreviews #fictionlover #middlegradereader #contemporaryreader #JollyFishPress #bookaboutlossandgrief #realisticfiction #bookblogger #Indianbookstagrammer #BookstagramIN https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca9yHK5go3P/?utm_medium=tumblr
