I’m a fan of novels in verse, I am amazed at how an author can convey such emotion using so few words! Love and Leftovers is no exception to the wonderful verse novels I’ve experienced.

Marcie’s voice is incredible. It’s what made this novel such an enjoyable reading expereince. It’s imperfect, realistic and raw. Perhaps I enjoy reading verse novels so much is because of the simplicity of the writing. Everything is cut out except for what absolutely must be there. These characters are so exposed, it’s such a different reading experience. I just love it!

The story was just as wonderful as the characters. Watching Marcie’s struggle with what exactly love means to her, it was so gripping! It was difficult to watch her internal conflict at times, knowing that there is no one true right answer.

Love and Leftovers was just an all around great read and I can’t wait to see what Tregay comes up with next!
