Sweet and Sad and Suspenseful

This book perfectly captures a sweet innocence and chronicles its loss as one moves toward adulthood. The story is poignant and suspenseful and well-told. Would recommend

Meh.

I liked The Fever so I gave this book a try and it was just okay. It had a promising start but it just went flat and didn’t really take you anywhere. But the twist in the end was interesting but it was too late.

Great read!

Nostalgia at its finest! Abbott instantly had me reliving my childhood. This is a great coming of age story.. with a twist. I'll be the first to say it's a bit risque (and you'll understand what I mean if you read it), but I loved the style and the grit.
