An Emotional and Beautiful Story 1 May 2011
By KW - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I really didn't know what to expect with this book. It truly was an emotional journey of hope, courage, and love. I couldn't put it down and found myself tearing up through the entire book. I think the reason I enjoyed this book was because of the emotional connection I felt.

The author did a wonderful job helping me understand more about epilepsy and truly feel for the characters and their struggles. The writing style wasn't my favorite. The style seems a bit robotic and simplistic to me and the conversations didn't flow as naturally as I like. I realize that often times those who suffer these types of serious illness are more mature, so I didn't expect immature conversation- just more natural. I also think I would have prefered the story to be in present tense instead of past. Being one that has experienced loss, I was surprised there wasn't more emotion surrounding the loss of her parents, I assume that is just because the author didn't want that to be the focus of the story. None of that kept me from falling in love with Teagan and her family and friends. Her courage was inspiring.

I truly enjoyed this book. It is a wonderful drama and I would recommend it, especially if you have a friend or have ever known someone with epilepsy. This is a wonderful story of compassion and friendship.

Parents: I really think this is a great book for teens. There is only one moment where 2 characters have sex. It isn't detailed and protection is mentioned. Language stayed clean and I really feel like this is a great book to introduce teens to illness and compassion.

Teagan's Just a Girl. Wanting and Fighting To Be Normal 29 April 2011
By David - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Teagan is a maturing teenager who begins her junior year of high school after being home schooled all her life because of severe epilepsy. After her parents are killed by a drunk driver Teagan moves in with her older brother and his wife who take care of her. Lacking both the time and ability to continue the home schooling, Teagan is placed in normal school for the first real time in her life.

This story is emotionally deep and gripping. Teagan is a strong character both in her vulnerabilities (epilepsy and having to be dependent on others), as well as her strengths which are led by a fierce desire to be just a normal girl. Her close friends and supporters are equally real and tangible. We can easily picture ourselves interacting with them and speaking to them.

Clearly teen oriented and written for the teen market, it is a story that adults can also enjoy and relate to well, including this 46 year old male author who was brought to tears during some very moving scenes.

While the scenes in school and at camp seemed a bit rushed, almost used as a stage for Teagan's bouts of epilepsy, this is a small sacrifice to pay when the emotional depth of the story is so powerful.

Anyone who can remember being picked on in school will relate to Teagan and her personal issues. And anyone who can remember the heat and roller coaster passions of teen love will relate to the developing romance that Teagan and her young man of choice experience.

The emotional narrative, unwritten but omnipresent that Mrs. Jager weaves so delicately into the story is immaculately crafted. Feeling everything that her characters are feeling is nearly impossible to avoid.

This author gives this novel a happy 4/5 and both truly enjoyed it cheerfully recommends it!
