Wowza. This was splendid. 
 Bone Gap is a beautiful, magical story that has a bit of everything: mystery, romance, life lessons, complex characters, shocking twists, all in a unique and unassuming package. It's a bit dark and could be a tad frightening at times, but it also manages to ride along in a somewhat whimsical way. I was genuinely surprised by some of the events/personality traits of the characters in this book, and I feel like it deals with characters that we don't often see. This is especially in regards to a disability that one of the characters has. It was really enlightening and stunning to read about. The author presents her characters in such a smart and original way that you can't help being wowed by them. In some ways it reminded me of I'll Give You the Sun. ((Also if you are sensitive to situations in which men are making women feel uncomfortable, i.e. kidnapping or themes of assault, I would approach cautiously. There are no explicit rape scenes, but one of the characters is consistently harassed by men)). 
 But most of all, it will make you think.
