As you can see, I got into the book. I was wrong. I admit it. I like the story. Some scenes are way over the top. BUT, here is the big but (not butt), I can understand how a girl could see so much into the simple things.. a rain drop, a cloud, a boy smile, etc. since she's been so alone. That is why the prose doesn't bother me as much as other books. One scene bugged me but I'm running out of characters so....

Love the brother. The prose is going to make my brain bust though!

I am a girl without a life jacket! I'm drowning in flowery prose struggling to find the story located on an island that seems so close but the rip currents make it oh so, far, far, away. (If you have no clue what I said, neither do I).

I really enjoy the story but I wish Mafi had some self-control with Juliette's internal combustion of poetic prose that seriously takes up 50% of this book. If we shut off Juliette's thoughts, we would have a 150 page book or less!

ok. why is a guy in the room with her in a mental institution? so many questions. hopefully, there are answers. I hate the flowery language, grey skies, fat tear drops, whatever, bleh, bleh, bleh (I'm not quoting from the book), this language just doesn't work for me.

Please, can someone tell me, is Juliette scratching something off on a paper and then using different words. There is a weird scratching sound on the audiobook like she is crossing out a word.

There's one quote from this book that makes me go o_O.
"I'd like to cry into his eyes".
Um..what?"
MY WTF scene was when she walks into the security headquarters for the first time, she is tripping off the marble, the plushness of everything, she's talking about the waste, etc. She starts ranting about how many kids are starving, how many homeless people there are. I kept thinking... just a lucky guess, but these peeps never paid a penny for any of this, they probably stole it. It's not like they had food hanging from the walls, none of the stuff there can actually feed starving people. AND if the world is as messed up as they said, nobody is gonna buy a marble floor in exchange for food.
