This is a fucking magical book. It was also unexpectedly sweet and beautiful, since there is nothing special about the plot (superficially). The characters and their relationships are so special and well-written that I didn't want to stop reading. This is a magical realism novel, so expect some weird shit here and there, but it only adds to the story (lovers of A.S. King and Andrew Smith like myself, READ THIS!) There are also hints of feminism in this, but I need to think about it more/re-read it in order to talk about that intelligently. 
 Do you know when you can see someone? Not just what they are, but who they are. Well, you can't really because there are gaps. Gaps that can be overcome through searches within whispering corn fields or never overcome at all and just accepted. (This books gets you seriously thinking). 
 I borrowed the book from the library, but I think I'm going to have to buy a copy of my own. Can't wait for what else the author has coming!
