Last night I finished reading the book So Much Closer by Susane Colasanti. It was one of my favorite books that I have read this year. My favorite character in the book was John. John was my favorite character because he was really interesting and not predictable. John had a mental disability where he does not understand things and learn things as quickly as other people do. Even though all of the teachers at their school think that he is not smart, but he really is.
In the narration the main character, Brooke said that she felt bad for underestimating him when she was judging people. Brooke is tutoring John. During their tutoring sessions John takes Brooke to this place called Highlands. Highlands is this place where you can see all of New York and things that you don't see normally. While at Highlands, John points out the tops of the sky scrapers. On the sky scrapers there are these gardens on the roofs. Brooke thinks that they are so interesting. This book is one of my favorite books because it is not the predictable love stories that I usually read.
