½Birdie never meant to be at the party. Bash should have been long gone. But when they meet, a collision course is set off they may never recover from.
Sebastian Alvaréz is just trying to hold the pieces together: to not flunk out, to keep his sort-of-best friend Wild Kyle from doing something really bad, and to see his beloved Ma through chemo. But when he meets Birdie Paxton, a near-Valedictorian who doesn’t realize she’s smoking hot in her science pun T-shirt, at a party, an undeniable attraction sparks. And suddenly he’s not worried about anything. But before they are able to exchange numbers, they are pulled apart. A horrifying tragedy soon links Birdie and Bash together—but neither knows it. When they finally reconnect, and are starting to fall—hard—the events of the tragedy unfold, changing both their lives in ways they can never undo. Told in alternating perspectives, The Inevitable Collision of Birdie & Bash by Candace Ganger is a beautiful, complex, and ultimately hopeful teen novel that will move you to the very last page.
My Thoughts:
DNF @ 50(?) pages
Another DNF - here we go again. I have been DNFing so many books lately, and I cannot really understand why. Why must all of the negative-emotion-inducing books be coming straight at me? I AM A BOOK LOVER WILLING TO GIVE HUGS TO ALL THE BOOKS IN THE WORLD. However, The Inevitable Collision of Birdie and Bash gave me no interest. To me, the fifty pages I only read were about rebellious teenagers trying to 'hit it off,' and start a cheesy romantic relationship. That's it - that's all I can recall. Perhaps others have a different opinion of this book, but for the boring 50 first pages I read, that's my experience.
If you're like me and have a difficult time 'getting into books,' this will certainly not be enjoyable. Go find something more worthwhile to read.
