I loved the story line because it tells the story of an almost broken girl and a boy who tries to get her to see her for who she is. I felt that the setting helped explained some of the characters and their actions, thought, and feelings. I loved how the author set up the book and felt that the author did a pretty good job in introducing all the twisting and turning that went on in the book.

Every now and then you stumble across a truly fantastic author who is able to capture not only your attention, but your heart as well within a matter of a few pages.

Very YA. Good, although a little unrealistic, considering how self-assured the 17 year old was. I read the first one because I got it for free as an iBook or on the Kindle app. Will I keep reading the series? Possibly, if my library buys the next books in the series - they arent ones Id bother to buy.
Thoroughly enjoyable coming of age story about a young teenage girl growing up in the care of her older brother, due to extenuating circumstances.There are some very surprising twists, and also some delightful ones.This is the first book in a series and left me eagerly looking forward to the next book in this series, to follow the progress of this unique family.Can recommend this as an enjoyable read for young adults and adults alike.4*s
