I've been really, really messed up for a while now. Since before I got here. Family stuff, as you've seen. School stuff. Friend stuff. Me stuff, mostly.
I found Fixing Delilah to be a beautiful coming of age story filled with healing, self discovery, romance, and friendship. I am a fan of Ockler's writing, and enjoyed trying to figure out the family secret. (I was half right) Each of the characters were well crafted and essential to the story, and contributed to "fixing" Delilah. Ockler gave me a heartfelt story, with a sweet romance, and a great friendship. How can you not love a story of healing and forgiveness? There is a lot of hope in stories where things fall apart, but can be mended to become something even better. Delilah's journey was not smooth, but she eventually reached a good place, and I was really happy with the ending.
how easily some things can be broken for good and for bad, and how some things, no mater how shattered, can still go back tougher.
Overall: beautiful story filled with hope and healing, which was smile inducing.
We arrived in Vermont expecting to fix up the old lake house. But in the end, it was the house that fixed us.
