Score: Six points out of ten.
Note that I got this book and now I own it. This review can also be found on The StoryGraph.
The library I got this from held a giveaway with this book being one of those they were donating because they were too old and few people read them. So, I picked it up and finally read it, but when I finished it, I thought it was only okay and I can understand why the library would remove it (most likely to make room for new ones.) It starts with the first character I see, Emma Freke, or Emma for short, but here's the point: Emma doesn't like her surname. At least how people pronounce it as they pronounce it like the word freak and the full name sounds like Am A Freak (her height and red hair also factor into that name.) But other than that she seems typical to me and she has no other problems I know of and I don't consider her unconventional family as a problem that affects Emma. Like in other novels, the characters missed the mark as I couldn't relate or connect to them. Nothing much happens for the first half but the second one is where the plot thickens as Emma is invited to a family reunion somewhere in America which she attends. Everything looks typical at first (did I mention they pronounce Freke as Frecky?) until one of the family members stirs conflict (but that ended swiftly) and afterwards the conclusion is a high note.… (altro)
