Shows what it is like to lose someone you love’
I really enjoyed reading Sunflowers in February. I found it very emotional and was crying after a dozen pages. The book really shows the emotions that the characters are feeling.
I think that the book portrays what it is like to lose someone you love – and the guilt of taking somebody away from their family.
I found all of the characters very interesting and I also liked that they all grieved in different ways, because it makes the book feel more real.Sunflowers in February was something I did not quite expect, yet I could not put it down. From beginning to end, it had me hooked because of the emotion I felt for Lily and the deeply moving ending.
I loved reading this book because it speaks of the truth and the liberty to be alive.
The story is about a 16-year-old girl, Lily Richardson, killed in a terrible accident. Or was it really an accident? Lily finds herself waking up to something very unfamiliar. She realises she is dead and her life is over.
The book is about a young girl putting all her jigsaw puzzles together and then having the confidence to tear them apart to save others.
I strongly recommend Sunflowers in February to other teens like me. It made me realise that everyone has only one life in this world and that we have to cherish it – and live it to the fullest.
Thank you, Phyllida Shrimpton, for dedicating yourself to creating Sunflowers in February. This book is a delight.
