I wavered between giving this book 3.5-5 stars, but felt like my eternal search for The Best Book Ever is a bit ridiculous, and should deem books that I "really liked a lot" to be 5-star worthy. This book had me constantly turning the pages, wanting to know what happens next. The artistic flair and metaphors were so creative and cool, and I was excited to read about a girl who liked to surf and cliff-dive and also make dresses. Some parts of the book were predictable, but I was fine with it. Good job, Jandy Nelson. I shall read your other book.
