My Never Ending List

I watched this book sit on the new YA shelf at the library for a couple weeks before I snatched it up. I loved the cover, the synopsis, and the script carved out on the back: the characters embracing their differences until the truth finally comes out.   Michael begins to self-destruct when he realizes Ashley is a fraud, but by then Ashley has become an obsession that Michael cannot let go of. This story sounds like a story I could really enjoy, one that would leave me reading late into the night.   The message in the end is life changing for Michael once he gets a clear understanding of his life and where it is headed.   The story is short and for that, I am glad as the story lacks in its delivery. I really felt that I couldn’t connect with the characters; I felt the characters were just there, no emotions or ties. It was one of those he said, she said stories. It really had potential.
