Feelings After Reading - Wonder with a side of Whoa (I can’t wait to see this in movie form.)

I’ve known about A Wrinkle in Time but I never actually got around to reading it. Now that I have though, I’m sorry I waited so long. What lead me to finally picking up the book was seeing the trailer for the movie, it looks amazing so I knew I wanted to read the book ASAP.

I love how even though the book was first released in 1962, it’s still immensely readable today. The characters are strong and the fantasy of it all takes you along for the ride. Meg’s character feels very relatable and her conflict is immensely understandable. I think that’s what makes this book one that people still seek out and read even today.
