Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas review
MishaI cant help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. She misses
me.In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different
school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher
paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a
boy like me, agreed.It didnt take long for us to figure out the
mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The
best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the
greatest rapper ever
.And that was the start.
For the next seven years, it was us. Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes theres one a week or three in a day, but I need them. Shes the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Names Ryen, loves Gallos pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances?F*ck it. I need to meet her.I just dont expect to hate what I find.
Ryen
He hasnt written in three months. Somethings wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.Without him around, Im going crazy. I need to know someone is listening. Its my own fault. I shouldve gotten his phone number or picture or something.He could be gone forever.Or right under my nose, and I wouldnt even know it.

Booktok made me buy it.
This book was such a hype, I obviously had to buy it to see for myself if it was really worth the hype. The book was okay, but I expected more from it. Not really worth the hype, if you ask me.
I wasn't too fond of the first part of the book. Mishal is so obsessive over Ryen, it's supposed to be cute but I think its rather disturbing. It wasn't really a quick read as I thought it would be. I did like the end of the book. This was so nice to read, and I loved the ending. I gave it a four star rating because of the end.
I had some trouble getting into
the story. I really had to motivate myself sometimes to continue it. But I must admit that I really liked Ryen's character. She's really inspiring and a has a really interesting character.
