Overall, I was disappointed. While most of Oprah's book club books are depressing in some way, I still usually like them. That's probably why I kept going until the end, even though the story felt slow at times. 
 Icy Sparks suffers from Tourette's Syndrome, though she doesn't know it, and the people in her small town just figure she's crazy. Part of the time I believed Icy was a 10 year old girl with some issues. Other times I questioned whether a 10 year old girl really would think that deeply about flowers and her surrounding landscape. 
 The writing is okay, though a number of times I had unanswered questions, and some loose ends muddled up the story. Yet I was ready to go for 2.5 stars, until the last part of the book. Icy (view spoiler)[ finds religion, gains a purpose, and suddenly things are better. The sudden influx of heavy religion surprised me, for it felt out of place. (hide spoiler)] So, I didn't like the ending.
