I know a lot of people were turned off by the poetic feel of this book but I must say I loved it. The way Juliette talked was mesmerizing, it had an almost hypnotic feel to it. 
 Juliette is a little more broken than I usually like my heroine to be but surprisingly it did not bother me. She was not in the least bit weak in my opinion. In fact she surprised me quite a bit by her strength. To go through life being unwanted and treated as a monster and still see beauty and value in others lives and the world is quite remarkable.
