Paper Girl Cindy R Wilson Books

I love how a book that begins with playful banter between BlackKnight and Rogue2015, during an online game of chess, develops into so much more. In the YA novel, PAPER GIRL, Wilson poignantly illuminates the stress and frustration of living with social anxiety disorder. With likable characters and an inspirational storyline, Wilson invites readers to cheer on Zoe and Jackson as they search for the courage to navigate through brokenness and fear. I related to Zoe and her paper world creation, a safe cosmos surrounding her. I loved imagining these scenes as I read.

Wilson accomplished much in this heartfelt, teen romance. The greatest takeaway for me was the message of learning to value yourself and to never stop striving toward your goals.

Paper Girl Cindy R Wilson Books Reviews

Zoe is sure that she was born to be many things in real life, but none of them will come true thanks to her panic to leave her home. Confined to her penthouse, she spends her days counting footsteps, doing origami and playing chess at online game Chess Challenge where she met a certain blackknight who accompanies her on her "what if" journey. Between confessions and importants moves, she creates a parallel life for herself .

Her family even worried about her situation supports her in everything from hiring psychologists to replenishing her paper stock. When her mother decides to hire a tutor and this tutor ends up being her crush, she will have a new perspective on life when she realizes how she can be stronger than she thinks she is. She will find in Jackson a safe haven and a strong love capable of shaking her life controlled by fear.

Jackson is a struggling boy who dreams of fulfilling his mother's wish and going to college. With all possible effort with condition of life not easy, he tries everything to avoid disapoint his mother. When he ends up hired to help Zoe in her math difficulty, he did not imagine that a new world would open up in front of him, provoking a revolution in his life as well.

I confess that I could not imagine what was waiting for me when I took this book, I really liked the synopsis and the cover, but it surprised me in such a strong way that I found myself immersed deeply in the plot, hoping that in the end everything would work out. It is a book with a different and very engaging plot, a great love story very well written and well tied up where two teenagers end up falling in love and finding a lot of strength within themselves.

Both Zoe and Jackson face their dilemmas with their head held high and in a very real and human way, I fell in love as the writer led the whole story showing that we need support, yes, at various moments in life, but that we also have to do things for us without depending on another person.

I am an incorrigible romantic and I loved the fact that the book had enough romance and overflowing with affection and cuteness, I spent much of the book sighing with the couple and the way they connected more and more with each encounter.

So So So Lovely!
4-1/2 Stars. I have a very good friend who suffers from agoraphobia and a daughter with social anxiety. I’ll admit I never really understood these feelings. I’m the opposite, a consummate extrovert who loves the hub of urban life and exploring everything the world has to offer. But PAPER GIRL takes me inside the life of Zoe, an agoraphobic who hasn’t left her home in over a year. Zoe was always more shy and reserved than her outgoing older sister, Mae, but before a series of events pushed her into seclusion, she lived a fairly normal life, attending Mae’s games and flirting with Mae’s friend, Jackson. After retreating into her home, she creates a haven of paper art that soothes her as well as occupies her time. Zoe is determined to return to some sort of a normal life, starting with attending her sister’s high school graduation. With the help of her therapist, she sets small goals for herself, including allowing herself to be tutored by Jackson, who has troubles of his own. Small victories and big steps backward combine to make Zoe’s journey one that is both realistic and relatable.

Plot
Told from dual points of view, there is one main plot, the romance between Zoe and Jackson, and two major subplots involving Zoe’s goal to re-enter life outside her home and Jackson’s relationship with his estranged father. The author throws enough roadblocks into both of their paths to keep things from ever getting too easy. The only thing I really wanted more of was uncertainty in their romance. There wasn’t any angst or doubt, nothing to really keep me turning the pages to make sure these two would end up together.

The Characters
I absolutely loved Zoe. She’s complex, smart, creative, funny, and just neurotic enough to be the perfect character to root for. I could feel her shame and horror when life infringed on her safe space. Watching her stretch the boundaries of that safety zone had me cheering for her every step of the way. Jackson was a little more pulled together, even though he’s homeless. His circumstances are as outside his control as Zoe’s are, but they’re environmental rather than emotional and mental. These two both overcome their own circumstances and situations to grow in believable ways.

Top Five Things I Enjoyed About PAPER GIRL
1. Paper art. Colorful origami in three-dimensional space creates a solar system and galaxy that fills Zoe’s room and life. I would love to see it, because I’m not sure my imagination does it justice.

2. Mae. She is sympathetic as the older sister who loves Zoe and struggles with supporting her sister and longing for the life they used to have together outside their home.

3. Zoe’s mom. The Instagram and YouTube star who documents all the craftiness that is her life is both a supportive and understanding parent with some of the best lines in the book.

4. Jackson. He’s sweet, patient, and brilliant. He creates the perfect balance between supporting Zoe without being a crutch.

5. Zoe. She is fascinating, at times sarcastic, terrified, artistic, smart, and more all rolled into a tiny ball of determination.

Bottom Line
A wonderful young adult contemporary romance that examines how social anxiety can transform someone from the inside out.
