Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Hillary Krajewski

It's winter and Hannah just broke up with her boyfriend. Strangely, she feels nothing. No sadness, no freedom, not anything. She really thinks that she should at least feel some sort of emotion, but she doesn't. So she decides to go for a walk to the lake. When she gets there, she sees a couple on the lake. They appear to be happy. The ice looks to be strong enough for someone to walk on. After a while, she goes home.

A little later, she finds out that she was the last person to see them before the fell into the icy lake and died. She keeps it to herself, she doesn't even tell her best friend or her mother. When she meets Will, the boy she's been seeing all around town, she opens up completely. She tells him all about it, and finds that it wasn't so strange that they seem to be oddly good for each other.

I didn't really like this book. It wasn't all that great. I thought the story was a good idea but I don't really think that the main character of this story really handled anything that well. I found her slightly annoying.

The cover is cool, the petals and the feet, but they really didn't relate to the story at all. Let's see: 1. This story takes place in the winter...where it's cold and people usually wear shoes. 2. Flowers don't grow in the winter...especially when it's cold. The title fit the book better than the cover. I can understand why they called it that...but the cover is still confusing me. I just realized that now too.

I don't think I'd recommend this book to many people. I guess it really depends on the type of books you usually read. But I probably wouldn't run around waving it above my head and screaming "Read it! Read it! READ IT!"
