It was a little confusing throughout the book but it did have fantastic metaphors and details. I do not think she tied all of the loose ends at the end, sort of leaving me hanging. Still, it had a gripping plot and talked about people and their emotions and feeling with such insight about them. - MNHS | |||||||||||||
