Reviewer: Joanne Wilcox on behalf of The Book LandersReview:So... Stxeamtown was an interesting and new read for me. I have never heard anything like this before. It sort of reminded me of Romeo and Juliet, and West Side Story, with the whole star-crossed lovers aspect.Dizon's writing style was interesting as well. Stxeamtown was written in 3rd person, which was a nice change from your typical 1st person point of view.Now, I knew pretty much little to nothing about this book when I started it. The only thing I knew for sure was that the cover looked awesome and I wanted to read it. As I started to read it, confusion started to creep it's way into my mind. I mean, Trip and Lyrica lives on rooftops. Like, how? How does that happen? I wanted to know.The writing was a challenge. It was different from a lot of the books I've read before. For example, in the book, Dizon uses words like "sleeptime" and "fellow", and policemen are known as "Big Boys". Their words are semi formal.Characters... wow. I really liked to two main characters, Trip and Lyrica. How they fought for their love was epicly adorable.In conclusion, Stxeamtown was a really good read.***a free copy of the book was given in exchange for an honest review***
