Chronicle Toward Books Hope and Other Punchlines

Sometimes looking to the past helps you find your future. Abbi Hope Goldstein is like every other teenager, with a few smallish exceptions: her famous alter ego, Baby Hope, is the subject of internet memes, she has asthma, and sometimes people spontaneously burst into tears when they recognize her. Abbi has lived almost her entire life in the shadow of the terrorist attacks of September 11. On that fateful day, she was captured in what became an iconic photograph: in the picture, Abbi (aka "Baby Hope") wears a birthday crown and grasps a red balloon; just behind her, the South Tower of the World Trade Center is collapsing. Now, fifteen years later, Abbi is desperate for anonymity and decides to spend the summer before her seventeenth birthday incognito as a counselor at Knights Day Camp two towns away. She's psyched for eight weeks in the company of four-year-olds, none of whom have ever heard of Baby Hope. Too bad Noah Stern, whose own world was irrevocably shattered on that terrible day, has a similar summer plan. Noah believes his meeting Baby Hope is fate. Abbi is sure it's a disaster. Soon, though, the two team up to ask difficult questions about the history behind the Baby Hope photo. But is either of them ready to hear the answers?

Appraise Of Books Hope and Other Punchlines

Is it tacky to review your own novel? Probably! But alas I wrote this book, and it's the one that almost killed me, and took a whole year longer than it was supposed to, and I'm super ridiculously proud of it, so I'm giving myself FIVE STARS. I truly hope you like it too.

Good news friends...My recent reading slump has ended with this touching, thought provoking story that evoked so many emotions! At times its quite sad, but I also found myself laughing while being pulled into the lives of Abby, Noah and Jack. ⠀⠀~~I often tell myself I dont like YA, then along comes a wonderful review from one of my go to book friends that tempts me into grabbing the book ASAP- in this case it was Larrys review from @the.bookishworld.of.yrralh (instagram) ⠀⠀~~What I loved about

DNF/set aside @ 30%Meh. I might pick this back up and try it again soon. I mean, I probably will? It's just... *sigh* I really, really, really hate this love interest. I think he's toxic and gross and he's blackmailing Hope, and it's all icky and low-key ruining the vibe of the entire story for me.

I dunno guys. I really wanted to like this book. I didn't care much about the characters. I would find myself not even registering what I was reading at times because I was bored. Some portions of dialogs made me cringe. Making jokes about 9/11 didn't sit well with me. I still remember the moment when I saw the news that day so vividly. I still think Julie Buxbaum has it in her to write another hit. This just isn't it.

book #5 for summerathon, under the challenge of: "sunrise colors on the cover" ✓this aint it chief 😞

*I WAS PROVIDED A PHYSICAL COPY FOR THE PURPOSES OF A BLOG TOUR. THIS HAS NOT AFFECTED MY OPINION*I'm just going to say right now that I was entirely let down and a little bit disgusted by this book.When I was offered a position on a blog tour for Hope & Other Punchlines, I was really excited. It was pitched as a comedy meeting tragedy with a bit of romance, along with other elements that stuck out to me. However, once diving into it, all the problems began to form.For one, every chapter is

5 StarsThis is the 3rd book I've read by this author, which for me is the magic number. After rating three books at 4.5+ stars by an individual author, they usually merit favorite author standing. Julie Buxbaum has now become one of my favorite YA authors. (I still need to read her adult lit.) Hope and Other Punchlines was in essence a "9/11" story that focused on the tragedy's effect on two teens and their families. I'd recently read a couple of books with 9/11 as their backdrop, but not from
