*I received an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. 
 Well, I kind of loved this book. 
 The story was a combination of good ol'fashion contemporary YA and the fairy tale, The Match Girl. I loved the way the author blended a touch of history into the modern part of the story. We learn a little backstory about the Match Girl from Hans Christian Anderson's fairy tale. 
 The writing was simple, which I liked. Not every YA needs to read like a Diablo Cody screenplay. The story was unique. I've never read anything quite like it. The Match Girl's story (as written by H.C.A) is a sad one, but the life and backstory that the author wrote for her (and her mother) was heartbreaking. More so, perhaps, because countless children lived lives just like hers. 
 I loved that there is a bit of everything in this book, it has romance, mystery, fantasy, even a bit of suspense. Something for everyone. 
 The only thing that didn't really work for me was the internal dialogue of Jack and Lucy. Their thoughts see-sawed between what a normal seventeen year old would think and then *poof* they would sound like they were forty. It was just plain weird to read a high schooler thinking to himself that he needed to urinate. 
 All in all, a really fun book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone that loves fairy tales.
