I can’t wait to see what she writes next! Two of my favorite lines:Īrt is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made. Bassett is an author to keep your eye on. I highly recommend Words and Their Meanings to fans of YA Fiction, General Fiction, and stories of working through grief and self-blame. Bassett has crafted a beautiful, heart-wrenching, honest tale of grief, love, and finding oneself. The story takes us through Anna’s discovery of secrets-some from Joe, and some from other important characters in her story. All the supporting players in Anna’s story are constantly worried about her. As a result, she makes herself into a teenage Patti Smith and rebels against all things ‘normal.’ Anna is surrounded by an amazing best friend, a nervous younger sister, a grandpa, and her mom. She’s traumatized by the death of Joe (her best friend/bruncle) and believes she is to blame. Anna is dark, emotional, unstable, honest, immature, and scared.
Anna is a main character in every sense-she’s the star player and other lives revolve around her, but not in typical fashion. This book has the potential to be a runaway bestseller in the YA Fiction market, and I’m sure it will have movie buzz in the future. Words and Their Meanings is so well written-I can’t even get over it. I highlighted more than I EVER have in a book before-amazing quotes! Kate Bassett has an incredible gift.
