This book was a little difficult for me to rate. I'm not typically a huge fan of young adult books, as the content is usually too simple. The plot, as expected, was simple and unoriginal. However, I was surprised by the writing style. It was very poetic and had a strong affect on how the story was told. It gave the characters more depth than the storline allows. I wasn't impressed with the plot itself, but I was surprised by how much emotion was written into the main characters. I don't know who I would recommend this to, as it is not something I would normally recommend to anyone. I think I was just pleasantly surprised by the lyrical writing style for a ya book.
