The Short of It:
Multi-layered and rich with detail, this novel takes you to the heart of what it means to be different. It's a novel of acceptance and centers around well-drawn but deeply flawed characters. A quick, yet satisfying read.

So, the book did get better I thought as it went along. Not great, but heartwarming nonetheless. I was happy to see that it wasn't a perfect ending, and did leave some loose ends - not storybook, but I gotta say sometimes I'm a sucker for the storybook ending too.
Would I recommend it? Maybe...maybe not. Not a bad book, but definitely not one I'd buy at full price either.

What a surprise this book turned out to be. Not at all what I was expecting. I guess the old saying is true, Don't judge a book by its cover.
thought it would be better.
Ugh! I almost didn't finish this book. What a train wreck.
Silly grammatical errors kept popping up throughout the book. Wish the author had a better copy editor.

Wow, not what I thought it was going to be at all! Very moving story about fleeing from yourself, and trying to find yourself again.
