SPOILER ALERT (I THINK)
By the end of "Curveball, The Year I Lost My Grip" by Jordan Sonnenblick, I have to say I wasn't very surprised at how the story ended, mainly because I predicted most of it. I think that Jordan Sonnenblick has a specific style of writing, where you can most definitely tell what's going to happen next, and yet the book is really interesting at the same time. I find this strange because if you always knew what would happen by the end, you'd think that the book would be boring to read. But I don't think that's quite true. There are kinds of writing where the whole book is just a fun read, even if in your brain, there are spoilers.
Like with "Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie". I felt like I could easily say what would happen next, but I wanted to keep reading it. I think that the reason for this is that we either want to make sure that our predictions are correct, or we just want to hear the story written in an interesting way. This is what Jordan Sonnenblick incorporates in his books.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, even with the spoilers in my mind. It shows that you have to be truthful with yourself and others, even if it can hurt you or someone else. I have found an author that I admire as well because I read this book, along with "Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie".

This book looks good! Is it a sequal to "Drums,Girls and Dangerous Pie"? I love how you gave the reader a "what to expect" kind of thing and i think this post is written really well.

It's not a sequel, just by the same author. But I'd like to read the actual sequel, which is in Jeffrey's perspective as a teenager, I think.
