The Sharp Time is a heart-wrenching coming-of-age story that deals with loss, grief, and the struggles of growing up. It offers a unique perspective on how social and emotional isolation can impact young adults and presents a character (Sandinista) who is both vulnerable and strong in her own way. The most distinctive feature of the book is the way the author explores the redemptive power of friendship in the face of trauma and tragedy. If you're interested in a powerful and moving story that deals with heavy themes, The Sharp Time is definitely worth checking out.
