In the first 150 pages of Hum If You Don’t Know The Words, I struggled to get through. I kept wondering when something was going to happen to make it interesting. I ended up getting the audiobook to listen to while I read and it helped. About halfway through the book, the pace picked up a bit. I liked how the chapters switched from Beauty to Robin. I loved the passion, love, and wisdom that came through Beauty’s words. Robin’s character grew so much throughout the book; this little girl went through A LOT - she even had to take care of her irresponsible sister, Edith, who was her caretaker after Robin’s parents died. Edith started to down-spiral after her sister’s death leaving Robin to pretty much be on her own.

I wanted the book to have more chapters with Beauty, I related to her character so much more. I wanted to know more about her story and her daughter. There were times where Robin made me so angry, but then I had to remind myself that she is a child and of course children will act like children lol. Robin was a very interesting character though, she took some time to figure out but I loved it when her character came together; it was quite moving.
