REVIEW for Random

Thank you to Fitzhenry & Whiteside Limited for sending me a copy of this book.

TITLE:                        Random

AUTHOR:                   Lesley Choyce

GENRE:                      YA Novel

RATING:                    4 Stars

I have this previous books written by Lesley Choyce and I truly enjoyed them and Random is no exception.

I think what I loved most about this storyline is the whole "random" -vs- "planned" -vs- "pre destiny".  This is a subject that I have often talked and thought about over the years and Random takes a great look at just how life can throw you curves and how, while these may not make too much sense at the time - there is a bigger picture - if only you believe.

This YA novel is about trying to find your way through loss and through life.  Its about appreciating what you have.  Its about understanding that a power higher than you has a plan.

Joe is an endearing main character who makes you feel for him, all the while giving you hope that there is plan and that everything is as it should be.
