I'm not quite sure how I ended up with this ebook, but it turned out to be a real favorite.I say it stretched me because it took me into the Chinese culture, foods, languages, customs, beliefs, as well as the spoiled rich girl friends that Syrah Cheng is around. The author creates a careful world, one of hidden motives and complex characters who change as the book progresses. VERY well done.
Good book from a good writer!
It is a very slow book, but it's a fantastic story with a different point of view. I did like that the author was very descriptive in her words.
I didn't like the first few chapters very much and I kept putting off reading them but I am so glad I finally read them. This is a great book.
If nothing else, the Chengs know how to save face. So to everyone else, Syrah Cheng's life looks like a dream come true. Her father is a billionaire, her mother is beautiful and always buying her fancy clothes (and custom-designed snowboarding gear). Between that and the mansion and private jet, it really seems like Syrah has it all. But . . . The worst part of having it all is having to deal with it all--the good, the bad, and the just plain weird.Syrah knows better than most that appearances can be deceiving. She almost never sees her parents, her half-siblings hate her, and it turns out real friends are not that easy to find when you can buy everything else. What Syrah doesn't know is how to change any of that, especially when she's been deceiving herself for so long.Girl Overboard (2007) is Justina Chen Headley's second novel (following Nothing But the Truth (and a Few White Lies) from 2006). The writing here is snappy and really moves the text along, so much so that the story very quickly demanded my full attention to better catch the nuances of Syrah's narration. The writing here is also grittier than a lot of books I have read lately. Syrah's loneliness and depression are so tangible in the early stages of the book that, at times, reading it was painful.After years of being a loner with a one-track mind for snowboarding, Syrah's snowboarding accident and resulting knee injury force her to look at her entire life in a new light. If one bad accident can leave Syrah terrified of her chilly home away from home, what else has Syrah misinterpreted? It turns out the answer is a lot.This book deals with many themes in addition to snowboarding and overcoming a really scary injury (partly inspired by the author's own bogus wipeout). A first-generation American herself, Syrah's family still bears the scars of their past in China during the Cultural Revolution.The story also provides an interesting commentary on the cost of keeping up appearances and friendship. At its core though, Girl Overboard is about a girl who has found herself adrift and, while trying to get her own bearings, realizes she can help those around her at the same time.In this novel Headley spends a lot of time in Syrah's head, partly because the book is narrated in the first person, but also because Syrah is a solitary creature--especially after her Accident. For this reason, Headley is really able to trace Syrah's growth as a character. At the beginning of the novel Syrah is lonely, sad, and desperate for a way out of her life. But as the story progresses, Syrah learns that before you can ask for help you have to think you deserve it. In fact, you have to think you deserve it all because if you don't who will?In short, Girl Overboard is the latest example of what a CLW book should be not just because Syrah Cheng is an awesome, strong girl but because this book details how she became that girl.
Syrah Chen, daughter of the famous billionaire Ethan Cheng, has everything she could possibly want, except for a family that pays attention to her, friends that aren't after her for her money or her name, and a boyfriend who only wants a free ride. And now, thanks to a torn ACL, she can't even do the one thing that she loves: snowboard. With her family's expectations closing in heavily, and Syrah's only true friend pulling away from her thanks to his insecure girlfriend, Syrah will have to learn what truly matters to her in order to heal her broken heart and discover what she's meant to do next.Girl Overboard is an amazing and powerful book. Justina Chen Headley has a talent for creating characters that seem so trapped within their lives that you can't help but sympathize with them every step of their tough, challenging journey, but then be jubilant when they overcome their obstacles. Syrah is such a character. Though she may seem like the stereotypical rich girl on the outside, she's a person full of heart and feeling, and her dreams extend beyond what her family has envisioned for her. But through their constant clashes, she is actually forced to learn from her father (ironically, through his book The Ethan Cheng Way), in order to see her entire family in a completely different light and find the Syrah Cheng Way of things at the same time.Chen's book is also wonderfully detailed, and provides such a fascinating glimpse of the mix of two cultures. This book is about more than just snowboarding and healing, but also about connections between people, separated by cultures and circumstances beyond their control. The many layers in Girl Overboard will help readers realize the true meaning of acceptance, family, and wealth, and illustrate that you don't have to be the star of what you love in order to have a rich, fulfilling life--you just have to find your unique way to make a difference. This novel is fascinating, important, and smart, and will leave you thinking.
