The writing 4/5 
 The story/originality 2/5 
 The language is just really good: descriptions, emotions, psychology is all quite flawless. 
 But I just couldn't escape my deja-vu feelings: (no real spoilers here) 
 an innocent adolscent girl from a disfunctional family 
 meets a far more experienced and wild girl 
 gets introduced in a darker and more feral world 
 smokes her first joint 
 kisses her first boy 
 etc. 
 If I would have read this before the magnificent novels An Invisible circle (Egan) and The girls (Cline) I would have appreciated more. While the influence of this chronology is not fair, I just couldn't get passed it. 
 So... mea culpa... my own reading and judging skills with this one 1/5
