If You Come Softly by Jacqueline Woodson – review

Pheebz: 'You might think that this is a boring love story, but it's all about how two people from different backgrounds have to hide their feelings'
  
  


This is the story of two teenagers who live in America, Ellie and Jeremiah. They both go to Percy Academy, a school in New York. On the first day of term, Jeremiah accidentally bumps into Ellie in the school corridor. Ellie drops all her books and Jeremiah helps her to pick them up... and it's love at first sight!

You might think that this is a boring love story, but it's all about how two people from different backgrounds have to hide their feelings for each other because Jeremiah is African-American and Ellie is Jewish.

After their first kiss, Jeremiah suffers a tragedy and Ellie is left heartbroken.

I really loved this book because it shows how your love and happiness can be ruined in an instant. It's also really interesting to see how your race or your religion can affect your friendships, even if you don't want them to. I hope you'll read this book!
