Interpretation As Books What Happened to Lani Garver

The close-knit residents of Hackett Island have never seen anyone quite like Lani Garver. Everything about this new kid is a mystery: Where does Lani come from? How old is Lani? And most disturbing of all, is Lani a boy or a girl?

Claire McKenzie isn't up to tormenting Lani with the rest of the high school elite. Instead, she befriends the intriguing outcast. But within days of Lani's arrival, tragedy strikes and Claire must deal with shattered friendships and personal demons--and the possibility that angels may exist on earth.

Seriously, all I can say about this book is OH......MY...........God! it was insanely amazing and the story behind it was a beautiful thing. It is inspiring and written really greatly. I loved it! everyone must read it!!!!

I loved this book. I've owned it multiple times, often giving the copy to someone to read and simply buying myself a new one. I even accidentally left a copy of it in a hotel in France when I was 14. I want to read it again, soon. I'll have to buy yet another copy because my last one was lost in the hurricane, but I don't mind. I really have enjoyed it each time I've read it anew.Also, the author grew up in my own hometown.

I had to stop reading it and put it away because the action became too heartwrenchingly intense. I didn't pick it up and finish it until six months later, and even with that pause, the intensity remained."What Happened to Lani Garver" is also notable for its realistic and sympathetic portrayal of queer, physically

Honestly, the novel started off slow dealing with typical teen girl drama, but after Claire meets Lani Garver and is introduced to a world bigger than her Hackett Island cliques, the story takes off. The high school is puzzled by Lanis gender identity, but whats more puzzling for Claire is whether Lani could really be an angel or not.
