I enjoyed the premise of this book but it ended exactly the way I thought it would. I thought the book was full of too many similes...especially near the end. Or maybe I just noticed them more towards the end. And, in true librarian fashion, I had a problem with the marketing of this book. Sometimes it read as young adult fiction, sometimes as adult fiction. The typeset and the cover of the book screamed young adult, but sometimes the content was very adult. I know that it doesn't truly matter because people of any age can read whatever they want, but the marketing made it more difficult for me to think about who I would recommend this book to. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and thought the subject matter was very original.
