This book is short at only 118 pages, but that's because that was all the author needed. This book is superb. I honestly don't have to lead up to why I loved it because I definitely do. Tibbets novel is a heart wrenching, tear-jerker of a novel. The novel tells the tale of a young teenage girl named Mary, switching between the perspectives of her and her slightly older brother, Paul. Mary is constantly in the spotlight at home. This however is a horrible thing. Her older sister Gwen is cruel to everyone, especially Mary. Besides her cruelty, she is pregnant and is planning a marriage to her boyfriend, who often does or says inappropriate things to Mary. These are just some of the problems in Mary's life.
With her over dysfunctional family life, Mary has a hard time at school and home. This book wowed me. Besides the absolutely amazing cover, the story was perfectly woven in a tale that sticks. I felt for Mary throughout the entire novel. I even felt for the members of her family. The switching of perspectives, between Paul and Mary, could have been a potential disaster for the overall plot of the novel. However, it helped to evoke feelings from me that I didn't expect to Shut up by Anne Tibbets is an unexpected gem. The story will slowly weave it's way towards your heart, and if you're anything like me, you'll close the book with tears in your eyes. Tibbet's work gets five stars from me. Highly recommended.
