Goodreads Summary: ‘Everybody likes everything these days. The whole world is a nerd.’
‘Are you mad because other people like Star Wars? Are you mad because people like me like Star Wars?’
‘Maybe.’If you broke Elena’s heart, Star Wars would spill out. So when she decides to queue outside her local cinema to see the new movie, she’s expecting a celebration with crowds of people who love Han, Luke and Leia just as much as she does. What she’s not expecting is to be last in a line of only three people; to have to pee into a collectible Star Wars soda cup behind a dumpster or to meet that unlikely someone who just might truly understand the way she feels. Kindred Spirits is an engaging short story by Rainbow Rowell, author of the bestselling Eleanor & Park, Fangirl and Carry On, and is part of a handful of selected short reads specially produced for World Book Day.
It’s been a real hot minute since I’ve posted a review. I am back today for my Kindred Spirits review. Now, I picked this book up to read for the 2017 Cramathon, and I’m so glad that I did. I’m currently writing this review on the day that I finished it, which is December 27th, but I won’t be posting this review until the 8th of January. I have been in a serious reading slump, I hadn’t finished a book since October, but I am so happy that I have vacation and found the time to read.
Kindred Spirits is such a cute book. It’s guaranteed to get you out of a reading slump, it’s under 100 pages and if you pick up the Almost Midnight edition, (next Monday I will be posting my Midnights review), you even get illustrations. It’s a great read, the characters are amazing and it has the usual Rainbow Rowell cuteness to it. They’re waiting in line for the majority of this book, but Rainbow Rowell didn’t gloss over the human needs one might have while camping out for 4 entire days. I love everything about this book.
It’s a short story, it’s fantastic, you can read it within one hour. If you haven’t picked it up yet and you love Rainbow Rowell books, go now and read it, you will not be disappointed. That’s all I have for today, short book, short review, but I really did love this story, it was a great pick me up and I loved understanding the Star Wars references, I’m going out tomorrow (the 28th of December, 2017) to watch the eighth episode I have apparently decided today, because this just made me really want to watch it.
