I liked it! A really good novella.Nothing complicated in the writing, simple and easy to read.
A young man unable to get a grasp on life. He meets a 19 year of age girl,neighbour, and he becomes mesmerized by her lifestyle and expectations of life, though the decisions she takes aren't the most righteous ones. The book ends with our narrator finding out what love really is and our little princess still on the quest.

Sheer genius.
Interesting and short novel about a playgirl who is not all she seems. The story is told from the narrator's perspective -- a neighbor hypnotized by Holly like everyone else. It's somewhat of a twist on the femme fatale archetype, although without any murders or huge crimes. Darker than I thought it would be.
