Well. Basically, what I'm doing in my blog right now is reviewing about random things that I usually encounter in my life. So here we go. The book review series. (Wat.)
So just recently, I have finished reading entitled Belzhar. It took me a week to finish the book so you can say it was pretty amazing.
Just an overview about the book. Belzhar was written by Meg Wolitzer. The book was published back in 2014 and was published by The Penguin Group.

Well, the book was basically about a girl named "Jam" and her experience in The Wooden Barn. The Wooden Barn is a specialized school for troubled teens. Well, I am just going to spoil you a little bit. So Jam here has a traumatizing experience causing her parents to decide to make her enroll in The Wooden Barn just for a semester. Then, she got involved in a subject called Special Topics in English where only a few chosen students are allowed to be enrolled in that subject. In her stay, her experience in the school gets more interesting every single day with the help of her red leather journal.
I will let you discover those experiences yourselves. Because it is a great damn book. When you finish a chapter, all you want to do next is read the next chapter. You are going to be totally caught up in the plot.
First, this book is totally relatable, not only for me but to every teen. It's very eye-opening to the reality of life. I think every person out there can really relate to this book.
Second, it's everything in one book. It's about love. It's about adventure. It's about finding yourself. It's about mystery. It's about sorrow. It's about life. It's about friends and relationships. It's about everything. It's diverse. That's one of the things I like in a book. Diversity. It keeps things interesting.
Last, a plot twist is always nice. Even though the plot twist of this book is kind of fatal and boring and kind of expected but it still keeps the story have a dynamic side which is good.
So with those, I totally recommend you to read this amazing book by Meg Wolitzer.
