📚QUESTIONS IN A BOTTLE📚

THE 9:09 PROJECT by author markhparsonsauthor is a truly special read. It’s a young adult novel that shares the perspective of Jamison, a teen who copes with his mother’s death by starting a photography project where he takes pictures at the same time and place, at 9:09 PM, each night as way to honor his mother and help him cope with his grief. 

The story dives into important themes like, loss, healing and human connections.  Parsons tells the story in the 1st person, so readers experience everything through Jamison who has synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon which causes him to see the world differently from others. 

As a to celebrate Parsons’ unique and powerful writing, I started a new book review project, “questions in a bottle.” These are my spontaneous book thoughts to questions written by mom to help share my thoughts on this very special book.

Author Mark H. Parsons’ writing is fresh, original and raw. “The 9:09 Project” is an absolute 10/10 must read!
