Jennifer35k | 2 altre recensioni | Jan 20, 2014 | This is a strange and dark story with a narrator that I am not sure if I could trust since she was in a car accident and was seriously injured and had a history of depression.
I feel like I have read something similar to this before but I still had a good time reading it. I had a lot of questions and as things changed more and more, I was still wondering what was going on even more. I had several ideas, but they were somewhat discredited as it continued. I was back and forth a lot on if it was paranormal or contemporary while reading because of all that was being put into question
I think that Ellie's depression was realistic, I have felt similar things in my battle with it. But I think that hers was a more unstable and severe form of mental illness, and I didn't know what it was, but there was obviously something coming from. Thought it dealt with so much that was emotional, I feel like I didn't connect with her on that level that I really wanted to. I wanted to feel her pain, desperation and confusion rather than feel like it was 2nd hand.
Madeline was just as mysterious, but I appreciated the acceptance that Ellie felt with her. Their friendship felt really fast and deep, but I know that is the nature of things with teens, intense and deep all happening quickly.
The pace is somewhat slow because it is a psychological build up and character driven.
The ending didn't really answer all of the questions that I wanted to, but it pieced it together as well as could be I guess. I just wanted more healing, or hope. But I guess if you look at it sideways, that will be what's brings her peace. She did realize a lot about herself, and I think she was on that road to realizing that she needs to take steps for healing and her mental health.
Bottom Line: Dark book that had me questioning everything I read.… (altro)

brandileigh2003 | 2 altre recensioni | Oct 17, 2013 | An interesting story about mental illness. The descriptions feel very raw and realistic. A good plot, but there was something missing. Maybe that's the point the author was trying to make.

This book was an interesting read for me and I found myself being absorbed in the story rather quickly. I found the main character to be fascinating and enjoyed how the author chose to write about an outcast girl. I get tired of the typical popular/pretty girl getting all of the attention and I thought this story was refreshing. All of us have felt like an outsider at one time and this book was a wonderful example of that. It demonstrated the power of self-healing and self-loathing. Sometimes a person is their own worst enemy and they have to choose whether they want to live or die in self-pity. I really enjoyed this book and I have to recommend it hands down. Great job author!… (altro)
