I bought this book because it was the thickest one I could find (more for your money!) but it ended up being really interesting! Weird, not exactly what I'd think of as a realistic teenage girl, but it was really engrossing anyway and I read it multiple times.

BUT SHEESH THE ENDING IS SUCH A COP OUT. GOD.

This book is so complete. I read it, and I questioned how this Aidan Chambers knew so much about me. I love this book beyond belief. It is so important to me. ( )

I read this while still in high school and it had a profound effect to make me realize that anyone at any age can suddenly drop dead. This really helped me to realize that I need to treasure my time on earth ,as well as that of those I love. ( )

I remember really liking this book when I read it back in '08 (I think). The story was wonderful, the voice defined and distinguished from the rest. However, I can't remember a whole lot of it, so I will possibly be doing a re-read at one point or another. ( )
