Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Khy

Wow. This book was just fantastic.

The best thing about the book was that the characters were all just really well developed and believable, especially Calle, the main character. She was definitely the best character in the book. As the story progressed, we learned more about her past and how the rather sad events in her past have effected her. She has realistic reactions to all the events except, I felt, for one. (But I'm not telling what it is because it's way too spoiler-y.) Throughout the whole book she's trying to figure herself and the people around her out, and in the end, I think she does. She's also got typical teenage girl problems, which I think a lot of people can relate to.

The bits about Calle trying to figure out why her mom won't let her dad and what is up with potential boyfriend Sam's home life add a touch of mystery to the story. I always enjoy a bit of mystery in what I read. It keeps me wondering.

Also, I loved how all the chapter titles were names of songs. It shows just how important music is to Calle is her ever-changing life.

Bad things...bad things...I can't think of any really significant ones other than that I thought Sam and Calle got a little annoying at times.

I definitely recommend this book. It was absolutely wonderful.
